The parent was very excited and shared that she liked doing projects. She enjoyed using her creativity and cute ideas. I want parents to support their students by assisting with materials and guidance not completing the student's work. After all, it is not fair to the student who does not get any help at all or has limited resources. What suggestions do you have for limiting the parent's hands-on participation, yet welcoming their support otherwise? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) All of the suggestions are helpful. If this continues to be an issue and you don't want to punish the student(s) then maybe time needs to be carved out for an opportunity to do some of the work in the classroom. This is obviously only a last resort option.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Allowing for the students to do some or most of the work in the classroom ensures that they are the ones doing the work and not the parents.
