[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:34 here - my kids absolutely have lost points for neatness and been embarrassed by their outcome. As I said above, my kids have motor issues (but not enough to qualify for services). Maybe we are a special case. I know what you are talking about and remember seeing some overly perfect projects for sure. That said, I have a little forgiveness in my heart for them because I know the blood, sweat and tears it takes us to get one of those stupid projects out the door.[/quote]

Although I feel for what you are describing, I think you are on the wrong track.  If your child has motor issues, the teacher won't have the same expectations she'd have of the rest of the class (unless she's very unprofessional and/or unkind).  No doubt your motivation is a good-hearted one, but by covering up what your child is capable, you aren't helping them at all.  What if, for example, the teacher thinks your cutting, drawing, etc. is what your child is capable of doing?  Then the teacher will think the child simply isn't working hard enough when the result isn't as good.  Let your child's work speak for itself, whatever the level.[/quote]
