  Case: Parents doing young student's projects
What do you do when you have a student who didn't do their project and had their parents do it? For example, the student comes in with a project written above their level, they can't read it, and they don't know what their project is about. How do you go about making sure this doesn't happen again?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first make sure this as an assignment that is doable for this student. If they are getting the parent involved, it may be because they are having a hard time. If that is the case, scaffolding the assignment may help. If the student still seems to be submitting work that is coming from the parent, I would consider reaching out to the parent with your concern that their child is not getting the most out of the assignments, and see if they have any suggestions because they are clearly involved and might see where the child is struggling.
