  Case: Parent help with homework
Students are given a book project twice a quarter in Mrs. Newman's class. Students generally have four weeks to read the book and complete the project. It's apparent that some students are having assistance from their parents with this effort. It's obvious because the students, who have never crafted an assignment as creative, organized, or on topic in the classroom setting, are turning in exemplar models. How does Mrs. Newman handle this with both the student and the parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Newman should have the next book project completed during school hours, as an in-class activity, to obtain an honest and realistic pulse of the students abilities. Afterward I would share these results with the parents and reitierate the importance of allowing their children to show what they are capable of encouraging creativity however; you are setting them up for failure if they are not capable of meeting up to the parents standards on their own. It is alright for parents to assist their children however; they should NOT do the poject for them. Showing the parents how to encourage their children to excel will carry them much further in life, and building that relationship with the parents will create a strong bond between teacher and parent.

Comments: I think this not only show you what the student is capable of, it also sends a message to the parent that the student needs to be doing their own work.

Comments: I think that this could certainly help to show the parents that they don't need to do the assignments for their children. However, I think that this would take away from the class time to have them do normal homework in the class instead.
