What are they teaching in school these days?

Today, Maddie had her class presentation for a unit on "Kings, Queens and Castles."

Maddie had not been very excited about this unit until she realized that she could present on Japanese castles. Japanese castles, it turns out, are much cooler than the proletariat fare here in Europe. The castle she picked, Osaka castle in Japan, had a solid gold tea room and gold dolphins and tigers on the exterior. Very cool.

More importantly, it was attacked many times by ninjas.

Below is a photo of Maddie with the special guest she located for the presentation. Any similarity between said guest and members of 5fordhams LLC is purely coincidental.


Maddie did an awesome job. The class was fairly... *energetic*. By the end of the 20 minute presentation, I was ready to throw down with anybody who doesn't think that teachers deserve summers off.
