[quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP. Any "assignment/project" that becomes some sort of art project I don't worry about my child completing. I don't say it doesn't have to be done, I just don't care, especially when I don't see the "value" . This is not a blanket position for me, I carefully look at each project and try to determine the skill, learning aspect for it, and what the teacher is trying to get the child to understand. If I think it's a bunch of BS, I let my child do whatever she wants to do/or not do. Also, if the project "requires" me to do work, I just refuse and let the child do the assignment to her ability(I will usually send a note to the teacher explaining why I didn't assist, which is usually something along the lines as "I don't think I should be require to do this project and the grading should be based on DD's work and not my lack of it".[/quote]
