My 15 yr old daughter is in an honors European history class. She has to write 
a term paper six pages in length as part of the course on something of 
Euoropean history.  her teacher says it can be as recent as this year to make 
it history.  She is an activist minded child, like her mother :o) and would like to 
do it on the Nestle Boycott, but when she submitted the idea her teacher was 
not sure this was relevant to European history.  From what we read, Nestle 
did originate in Switzerland, so that alone should make it qualify. There is also 
tons of info out there on Nestle in the UK. She did explain the nestle boycott 
to her teacher, and got an "If you say so" type of response.  
In your opinion, is this a relevant piece of european history? I love that she 
wants to do this, and love the idea of opening the eyes of a few of her 
classmates and her teacher, but would hate to see her get a poor grade bc its 
not relevant.  If anyone would like to share their thoughts, I would appreciate 
it.
Thank you,
Heather
