  Case: Parent project
I have seen parents complete projects like dioramas for example, and it is very obvious they did the work. The other students who did their work on their own get very upset because they either compare that project to theirs and feel like theirs is bad, or they know the student parent's did the work and they think it is unfair. How should you handle the situation? Do you confront the parents? Should the work even be graded? What should you say to the other students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Set the expectations of the project beforehand. Send out a letter to parents explaining the project and reiterating the fact that while help and support is appreciated, please allow their child to do their own work. In the letter, stress why it is important to allow students to do their own work.

Comments: Yes, I agree this is the best solution. It is simple and gets to the point. The parent should not be completing the homework.
