  Case: Parent Enjoys Projects
During a regular parent conference, the parent was informed about an up-coming science project. 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!)
I would send home a letter explaining that students are supposed to do their own work and have the students and parents sign it so it's fair for all the students.
