A friend of mine home-schools her children. Unlike most, she home-schools them to keep them away from religion. She is part of a small group of Atheist home-schoolers, and the children meet for regular field trips to museums, etc., which gives them some socialization. Most of the mothers/teachers have the minimum of an Education Bachelors, and they seem to be doing a lovely job.
In a group writing assignment, they were asked to provide a Job Posting ad, searching for somebody who exists in current myth (superhero, vampire, witch, Santa, Easter Bunny, etc.) and describe the job we need them to fill. They had to provide a minimum of 3 tasks needed for the interview, and 3 for the job.
14-year-old Layna just e-mailed me this. I think it's pretty fun, and well crafted for a 14-year old. What do you guys think?

"The family that prays together...is brainwashing their children."- Albert Einstein
I suppose more accurately, it must be able to be impressive enough so that most people will say it is omnipotent. Let's face it, it doesn't have to do much to convince people. It doesn't even have to exist!
