[quote=Anonymous]My Preschooler was given her first (and only) “homework” assignment: a project to create a “home” out of a box. Teacher sent a nice note home to all parents saying it can look however kids want, and they were given a week to do it at home and present it in class. My kid painted a box and added misc things to it and we even practiced hot glue gun usage, so it was fun and an appropriate challenge in that respect. The outcome was a classically messy project but a kid enthusiastic to share about it. So whatever, fine by me. However, I was really surprised to find out that my kid was one of the only ones who had clearly done this project mostly herself. All the other projects were very obviously meticulously done by the parents. This is out of all the prek classes! I think maybe two other kids had done the project themselves.

So the point of this post: Is this fairly common now? My daughter is my eldest and she is in a private school. This is my first school experience so I’m just wondering if I’m doing her some crazy disservice by letting her do this kind of project herself (with me there basically just for safety purposes)?[/quote]
