Do the schools think you are rich?

Katie has a project due in one month and i'm not a crafty person. Ok, i can psp and i can do things. I'm creative but i'm stupid when it comes to hands on and it always looks like a 2 year old did it. And now Katie has to make a person from missouri with a 2 liter bottle! oh come on. Do they think we are rich. I have a list of supplies i have to get and it's like 30 dollars worth! That would give us over half a tank of gas! Are they crazy? Is everyone there rich? i wrote her a note and asked her for help here. I can't do all that, sure the 2 liter bottle but the rest of it? i wouldn't even know where to get some of the stuff (craft stores probably) and they aren't cheap! our walmart cut their crafting stuff down in half. i'm so aggravated. Wish they'd let her do something on the pc then i could help her lol even if it is mouse draw jesse james! ahhhhhhh
