  Case: Parents doing the work for their child
In eLearning i have noticed parents sitting beside their child and telling them the answers and doing their work for them. How do I solve this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest sending a note or email home to all parents in the class and ask them kindly to allow their student independence in the virtual classroom. You could explain the importance of allowing students to think for themselves, and how independent work can benefit their educational experience. Let parents know you are thankful for all their help and support for their child, but to place boundaries between the help they give and the work their students do.

Comments: I think this is an excellent solution. Making sure there are boundaries in place is super important. Telling parents that allowing their child to work independently is essential to their education is a great way to diffuse the situation. I would also tell parents that if their child needs more assistance or is struggling in class, they can contact their teacher instead.

Comments: I believe this is the best solution. Children need to excel on their own to build confidence and to understand the material. Parents should understand that it is ok to guide your child, but they are doing them a disservice by doing it form them.
