    Brilliant! This is a nice illustration of how pointless a lot of homework is, especially in elementary school.

    Personally, I think Mom’s on the right track. This will definitely prepare Alix for a job in the real world. Except this assignment still has a little too much practical value.

    When I was a kid we always asked the teacher, “How will this prepare me for my future life?” And most of the time the teacher had no answer lol!

    Man, that’d be a difficult project.
    I imagine lots of beans for mountains, macaroni for hills and rice for the prairies. Canada has lots of terrain. Might be costly.
    That teacher is a sadist.

    Why so many extremely bright kids fail or go astray in middle school (see ‘Agnes’).
