"But it is like a contest in which one ten year old in a million can walk a hundred feet."
No, it would be like a contest where a million ten year olds had to walk as far as they can, and the one who walks the farthest wins. Just because not all the year olds can walk as far as the winner does not mean that walking is too difficult.

To continue the analogy, in other countries the kids can all walk so far the audience would all go home before one dropped, but in ours half fall over in the first block. In other countries children do misspell words, of course, but not often. Here intelligent kids have a couple of misspellings in every composition in spite of their efforts to check the work with the dictionary. We have a bad system.
