Here you can interact with your friends, get matching tattoos and lounge in our special steamed showers! They're to die for! JEW will LOVE IT!" If I believed there was a hell, I'd expect God to foot the bill for expedited shipping. Anyway, HollowSquirrel is onto something. Hell, that's the kind of shirt I might wear to a school board meeting. Something tells me this brochure would lead to immediate, unconditional expulsion:

That just doesn't sound right. Your son could make the abstinence stuff on CafePress and sell it to the masses. Please. I’m with you all on brochures. That just doesn’t sound right.

I have the same mental association with the word "brochure...." so, while the parameters of the project are fine, the name, it just skeeves me out! Jennifer Reno,

I guess the word "brochure" just brings to mind those stands at hotels of all the local attractions... Michael, Omg, not Pokemon cards! My son was obsessed with those and I have a whole year's art notebook of his from 3rd grade in which every drawing is of pokemon characters, pokemon balls and lightning bolts... I did ask Reagan more questions about the "brochure" and I think her teacher was trying to be creative by having them do something different than a book report or paper. They have to include a timeline, a book review and facts about the Holocaust. So it's not a bad project, it was just the wording that I found funny... MM, Hmm.. never thought about that.

Sounds like our small town school! One of our boys got caught with some Pokemon cards when he was in grade school and it turned into a major catastrophe. I swear had it been a Playboy they would have executed him on the spot! So is the lesson the Holocaust or “how to” make a brochure? Sounds like our small town school!

I think the project is good, they have to include a timeline, a recap of a book about the Holocaust, and a bunch of stuff I can't recall right now, it's just the word choice of "brochure" that seems. um, crazy... like it's an advertisement for a condo or information about the benefits of botox...
