My favorite incident was just last week. Joseph our middle spent time and created a poster with dolphins on it for a presentation at his school. Obviously the work of a 7 year old, but we felt that he did a good job. It was sent back with the explanation that we were supposed to "help him" do it because it was for a presentation for the parents. I had to laugh. Parents helping to create a presentation that they were supposed to enjoy. I’m reading your post and thinking about the school assignments that have completed this year.

How do other families do it? Good question. Well, for one they probably have brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts and cousins and grandparents around to help. Their lives are packed - many Mexicans are working 2-3 jobs. Sooooo.... I dunno. Sleep less, and get help from the fam I perhaps! Well, you still can go to school here.

I should have gone to school in Mexico. Sounds like they appreicate creativity a lot more down there than they do up here O_o How do other families do it? Do they just have evening sitting around at home to make all this stuff? Are their lives not as packed as a typical NA family? WOW. I should have gone to school in Mexico.
