In second grade I was given the assignment of writing a report on American Indians. It was the first such assignment and I did not want to do it. I recall some crying about it. My college educated mom, in her best my child is not going to fail an assignment role, basically did the whole thing for me. I got an A and the teacher wrote that I did the work she would expect of a fifth grader. For years we all teased Mom that with all her education she only produced fifth grade work.
