I HATE SCHOOL PROJECTS!

Do your kids have a lot of school projects?  They drive me crazy and I do not understand the point of most of them.  It seems that it just adds stress and it ends up that the parent does way more of the project than the child.   Right now Robbie has to create a Hooverville in a shoe box.  What is a Hooverville you ask?  A Hooverville is a group of people from the Great Depression that lost their homes and are living in cardboard houses and metal houses or whatever material they could find to give them shelter.  They called them Hoovervilles because they blamed President Hoover for the Depression and there were so many people living in such a close proximity that it was almost like a town.  The lesson itself is very timely because this is exactly how people in Haiti are living RIGHT NOW.  I pointed this out to Robbie, however, I still could have done without the project.

Yeah Robbie -  I'm scratching my head too.  I have no idea how you are going to do this.  Thank goodness for your father!
