  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!)
If this becomes a continual issue in your classroom consider doing projects in class. As a teacher, you will have to alter some of your days to have time for this, but having students put together their projects at school will take the parent out of the equation. Not only that but for those students who may be perfectionists who seek their parents help will see that you value their actual work regardless of how the project looks physically. There is a chance the next time you send a project to be done these students will no seek out their parent's help.

Comments: I agree with this solution to give the students some class time to work on the projects. This way you will know they did the work.
