I give your invention the worst grade imaginable: An A-minus-minus!

You are an amazingly cool father! Good on you!

Years ago I designed an archaeological dig for my 7th graders. I designed the entire extinct culture, all the artifacts, everything. I also designed a written language, much like the one you did, and wrote a holy book for the people. 30 pages, single spaced, Arial 12 pt. Then I painstakingly transliterated the text into the language. I also made other documents with the language, messages, letters to loved ones, etc. I divided up all the documents and artifacts into 5 different dig sites (one for each period) and let them dig.

I figured that the artifacts would be the most interesting part. I was wrong. Every kid wanted to translate the language, once they broke the code. The documents were prized possessions, and the kids basically ignored anything without text. It was amazing.

Keep up the good work with your kid. He will remember this forever!
