Now, I’m sorry to contradict you, Petey, but Revered Sylvester Graham never invented the graham cracker. They were inspired by his temperance-based preaching, which recommended a bland, routine vegetarian diet based around coarsely-ground whole wheat bread.
As a matter of scholarly critique, I like his teacher’s frankness. But as a grading system for an 8-9 year old, not so much. He dug into a subject that intrigued him, and showed you the results of his research in detail. “Bah” indeed! I’d give him at least a B+.
Some people just don’t appreciate minutia, Petey. Their loss. Future archeologists will no doubt marvel at the wonders you have so lovingly documented. That is, as long as sticky fingers don’t render them incomprehensible.

“Unavoidably Trivial”! Evidently someone has never sampled the ambrosial flavor of graham crackers with peanut butter!

Petey’s next shoebox would show Jack, the inventor of Crackerjack. See, shoebox history is easy!

Petey suffers Disrespect of Genius. What does a mere teacher know?

How rude!!! What is trivial to one person may mean the world to someone else!
