[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In second grade I see this type of activity as a family activity. We all work together on decorating the pumpkin and then my kid would write about it. We have fun with it. I really don't think the teacher is grading on the pumpkin decorating, so why stress about it? If I want to do this as a family, it should not impact you. Now, if the directions said that the 2nd grader had to do the pumpkin by himself, I would do that- but that would be strange. [/quote]

If it's a "family activity" then the directions would say, "this is a family activity." It's not. It's homework....which is done by the student.[/quote]

Geez, lighten up.  Since when is decorating a pumpkin "homework that must be done by the child." if this mom wants to decorate the freaking pumpkin with the kid and that makes them all happy, then live and let live.  No educator would say that this kind of collaborative activity MUST be done alone, in fact I think that's kind of contrary to basic teaching.  [/quote]
