School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

What is with the mandatory Invention Fair?We had one of these in public school. Okay, I guess this is all right for those genius kids that get straight A's, have impeccable notes, and could probably cure cancer with a touch of their finger, but for most kids, it sucks. Who can come up with an invention on demand? Besides Edison?
I spent 3 weeks trying to invent something and ended up bringing a jar of jam with a hole in the lid so it'll drip more directly into another jar. My mom's idea. Meanwhile, one of those bizarre genius alien kids came to school with a rock tumbler he built from scratch, and was the star of the fair, despite the rock tumbler having already been invented. What the hell? I am so glad I got out of public school alive.
