Gifted.

The county said my daughter's gifted and that sounds good. So they send her off to this class where they learn random things - last year they learned about inventors and inventions, this year medieval times. And she gets some challenging math and she goes on some cool field trips and she sees all her friends that are not in her class so what could be bad about it right?

She has to build a castle - which sounds fun but do not be fooled. It has to be 18 by 18 - CANNOT be made of any building materials like legos, clay, wood, etc - and must include the following: moat, drawbridge, tower, turret, keep, bailey, gatehouse, and a portcullis (that crisscrossing gate thing inside the front door).

And she wants to make it out of fabric...I tried to talk her into sugar cubes but when the girls mind is made up, its made up.

Wow, good luck with that one! Maybe it could be sugar cubes draped in fabric...
