  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!)
When I have projects I make sure to allow time for at school work. I don't have a problem with the parents reading with their children; I encourage that. However, I do require that the majority of the project be completed at school during part of their reading centers. This allows me to see what my students, not their parents, know. I try not to send home graded work as part of homework for exactly this reason. It's important for parents to help their children with homework, and when the activity is for a grade it makes that "help" problematic at times.
