ASSIGNMENT FOR SUMMER VACCATION

Nowadays the children are not allowed to spend their summer vaccation peacefully. One of my friend's son who is just 7 years old was given an assigment for summer vaccation by his teacher. He was asked to submit an assigment on how the billing is made in a departmental store. I understand you all think it is so easy just to go a departmental store and watch how the billing is made and he has to make note and submit the assignment. Well it is not so easy as you all think. The boy has to sit at the cashier's place and should bill the customers. The story dosent end here. The boy has to submit the assignment using powerpoint as to how the billing is done. Well i think it is a real test for the parents because parents have to meet the concerned person and make a request. Well atlast the boy's father went to a departmental store nearby and made a request that his son has to submit the assignment. Well i think nowadays all the parents should be very creative and learn everything to help their kids in doing their homework. Just one request to the teachers.Please give assignments for the kids and not for the parents. Please dont punish the parents. Already they have enough tensions.

Nicely written.
I hate assignments...I remember I used to hate the first day after summer/exam vacations, 'coz that is when I have to submit an essay about what I did. :-).

That was a creative assignment i would say! Atleast the boy got to know how billing worked, by having a first hand experience! :-)
