my friend was telling me of the homework assignment his ten-year-old got which after the haiti earthquake they were told okay, come up with a plan to spend one million dollars are gopto help in haiti.and so these ten-year-old 5th graders i guess, his kid said i'm going to build schoools and so he researched how much it costs to build a school, how much desk costs, he sourced them out, found a place to buy desks on the web, found a shipping container company and figured out how many desks fit in the shipping container, got a quote from the shipping container company and figured out how many schools he could have by building this spread sheet and multiplying everything out and that just seemed like an excellent educational experience, one that you couldn't get from a book because no books had been written yet about the haiti earthquake.
