[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What grade is this? I hear you, but it is hard for me to relate because my three sons always enjoyed doing things like this and didn't view it as a chore. [/quote] My son also hated all these projects... it was awful. The teachers all assume all kids love them. Some find making these things REALLY stressful.[/quote] Some kids find the more academic stuff really stressful and can thrive and enjoy themselves doing more artistic projects. Seems like a fair balance.[/quote] Not really because the point of school is academics. Yes the enrichment stuff is good too but valentine's boxes are not on the SOLs. Nobody needs to master this to get into a good college or land a job. If your kid sucks at math then I am sorry and I hope they have lots of opportunities to feel successful in other spheres, but not every kid should be graded on every possible sphere.[/quote]
