Hi,
I was just watching Judging Amy, a rerun of course that I don't remember
seeing but I had to share. She was taking her daughter to school with her
"book report" which was a rather large poster and Amy tells her daughter
that when she was in school book reports didn't require a trip to the art
supply store and her daughter asked if that wasn't boring and Amy said no it
wasn't because in those days a book report actually had something to do with
the book.
I guess this resonated with me because I would absolutely hate all the
artsy-craftsy projects, and not just for book reports, that kids do today.
One of the most nightmarish assignments I remember from grade school was
creating a salt-map of Alaska.
