Majority Rules

Shouldn't majority always win? With the whole idea of democracy the majority should always rule. This is not how it went down in Spanish class. A couple of students--maybe two--wanted to learn animal vocabulary so Mrs. Morgan gave us animal vocab. There was also homework on this "fun" unit. The quiz is tomorrow and the only words I know are cat, cow, monkey and dog. The final insult was I still don"t know how to say my favorite animal in Spanish--an ostrich.
