[quote=Anonymous]When DD was in sixth grade she did some huge project for social studies. I "helped" by reading my book next to her, having her explain to me what she was doing, and providing snacks. She put over 15 hours into it. I offered to go with her to school to help her carry, and as we approached the gate and saw other kids, DD's steps slowed down. I leaned over and whispered, "Don't worry - I will make sure Ms. Herkel knows you did your project yourself. It's clear the parents did a lot of these." She nodded and kept walking. I found her teacher and said, "I just wanted to make sure you know, T did her project all by herself over the last week and a half. I provided the snacks." Her teacher smiled and said, "It's always obvious exactly which kids did all the work." DD got an A. I can't worry about whether the other kids' parents got an A or not. [/quote]
