I did try to send some chickens to school just for that purpose, intending to claim the education credit and having the chickens bring the Fireball to me.  However, it seems chickens are pretty mean.  Not only did the drink the Fireball but they got more timeouts at school than some people around here get from Intuit.  The school expelled them and refunded the tuition.  At the end of the day, I ended up with no credit and even worse, no Fireball.
