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!) Explain that the student will need to be able to discuss in detail how the project was completed. Many times if a parent does the work, the student will not know all the little details. You could also do progressive checks.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Some students get shy and are not good at explaining what they are doing, especially with younger children you might get a mis read and think a parent is doing the project when the child really is.
