This is why we don't teach Junior School kids about the Holocaust.
In the search for a cuter, or funnier entry I found this project:

which, after promptly being called a "sick fuck" by the ever patient and loving boyfriend, I photographed and uploaded. As you do.

This was a school project about the Ancient Greeks. Specifically, slavery. I as an eleven year old with no real trauma in my life, responded to the depiction of humiliation, torture and downright nastiness that a human can do to another person by making. a. slave. catalogue. Using greek letters. I particularly like the touch of adding "10% off" to a 7 year old girl being sold into servitude. In fact, from what I know about slaves now, 7 year old girls were probably sold for purposes that were beyond my ickle world-view at the time.

So, whoever is in charge of the National Curriculum should bear this in mind the next time some random lobbies for whatever human atrocity they want to teach children about "because they need to know so young in their lives". They wont get it. If they do, they probably had a parent die and really don't need to be reminded of it.

The alternative is that I actually had a b3tard sense of humour in 1995. Actually, looking at it from that angle, this is *hilarious*.

I'm not upset about this, I just finally understand what people mean when they say "you're too young for this". Have a little grin for all those lovely 11 year old minds, scribbling away about some subject with no idea of the significance of what they're learning about.

I quite like on one page where the line just swoops down half way down the page. My flid-ness was obvious, even back then!
