Very funny.

First, it's my niece, not my nephew.

Secondly, she's in the FIFTH grade and should know better.

Thirdly, I thought you had no free time during Airventure?

If it was good enough for Ike it is good enough for me.

In the fifth grade I did a oral presentation of the workings of the Air Defense Command.
This is circa 1965....
I described Norad, the DEW, Mid-Canada, and Pine Tree lines as well as the interceptor types in use.

The teacher had NO idea what I was talking about, so I got a good grade.

Did that in college with a presentation on flight planning and costing out an airshow contract !

While in high school, my son decided to do a report on the Vietnam War FACs (I just can't imagine why). The teacher had to approve the subject and I expected a "NO" but she approved. I gave him some of my books and said go for it. I did proof for grammar and spelling only in the end and was pleasantly suprised that he really did his research well and even included a picture of a funny looking black plane. Teacher sent home a note asking me if I had written it but gave him a A. When I spoke to her, I convinced her I only provided material, no writing. I realized she did not have a clue. . However, I was pleasantly suprised that she said she was going to do some further research on that war.

Yes, I did....but part of it pretty well described the way our children are taught history these days if they even get any history at all. War is not PC nor sensitive.

I did a demonstration on how to disassemble a Japanese artillery round in second grade. It was well-received. I did a repeat performance in the third grade and my teacher freaked-out!

Like Fox with bigger words, right?

Good one, James!

Here's an example of the onion for those that are uninformed.
