  Case: Parents Who Complete Student Projects
A particular project is given at the beginning of the nine weeks. Students are to complete it at home and bring it in on or before the due date. A rubric and directions for the project have been given. You allow the students time to work on the project during class or particular days. When the project is due, the student brings in an elaborate project and it is obvious that the student has not done the project. When you ask the student questions during their presentation, they cannot answer them. How do you prevent these situations from reoccuring?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would dedicate specific days and class times to working on the project. By doing this you can interact with the students and know that they are gaining an understanding of the material that is expected to be learned by them. Parents are inevitably going to help their children with bigger projects and I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing because it shows the students that their parents are interested and wanting to be involved in their learning.
