madness
I meant to mention this earlier, Rebecca went to a prep school, and if you ever need reason not to send your child to one, this story has to be it. Apparently they were each given an egg to keep as a pet for a week, they had to carry it around with them all day for seven days, and ensure that it did not break.
She finds it hard to believe that this didn't happen in my primary school.

I've known people who had to do that at public school in the States. Some schools make you carry bags of flower. It used to be pretty common when home economics was a broadly taught course.
The fact that people believe this cirriculum will prepare people for parenthood might explain the present spoiled brat/lazy git condition so prevalent in American kids.
