[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right? So frustrating.

Our classroom presentations were PowerPoints and Reports that were 5- 10 pages long.

My kid wrote her slanting sentences onto a poster board.

I told my kid that she did an awesome job as SHE was the one to finish the project herself. And very very few did.

Learning how to do a power point presentation is easy. I taught my second grader the basics of power point on a Mac where all you have to do is click, drag, and drop into place pictures or clips. Then type underneath. Many elementary school kids really are independently doing their projects. My other child has been going to the Home Improvement stores kids build clinics since he was 3. He has a tool kit and can sand, saw, drill, nail, and screw at 7. He spends time with his grandparents who have an awesome garage that is like a  wood shop. When he makes a project it looks like his parents made it but he really did. Don't underestimate the talent in this area. Many high achieving parents who end up with talented kids. [/quote]

I am not creative at all and my work looks like my child's sadly.  BUT, depending on what we are making, we also have a house full of tools and our child (2nd) has his own basic tools, including a drill.  [/quote]
