I always enjoy looking over my kid’s history answers. Here is a recent example from Space Cadet:
Q. Who reformed the calendar in ancient Rome?
A. Julius Caesar reformed the calendar in ancient Rome. (Sadly, he didn’t think to cut out the Ides of March.)
Q.What is an example of ethnocentrism?
A. One example of ethnocentrism is thinking that Hispanics are time wasters because they focus more on when everyone’s come than when the event was technically advertised to start at. Myself, I like the Hispanic method. It lets me sleep in.
But my all time favorite is from a report she wrote years ago about Leonardo da Vinci:
“The Mona List currently resides behind a pane of bullet proof glass in the Louvre. Why anyone would want to shoot the Mona Lisa is beyond me.”

I always enjoyed your childs comments on her homework/reports in English class at co-op last year. She definitely has a sense of humor!
