[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta love all the people chiming in with their stories of upper elementary kids and middle schoolers.

We’re discussing preschool projects. And yes, I did need to assist my 3-year-old in ordering photo prints from Walgreens for his family tree project. Quelle horreur.[/quote]

Did the project specify photos or were you helicopter parenting? [/quote]

NP here, our preschool had a family tree project that specified photos. I was pissed. Preschool is childcare for me (yes this was full day) and I do not need another project in our limited time at home, nor do I keep physical photos around. DD also had to do a shoebox diorama if a room in the house, etc. It's a real balance between getting DD involved, and just doing it so it's done and DD isn't the only kid with nothing to turn in. So glad we left that program.[/quote]

I'm surprised they would do family trees at all nowadays with so many fatherless families and other points of awkwardness. I wonder if these are clueless boomer teachers. [/quote]

We have an open adoption.  We put our family and the birth family as we are all very close and the teacher in elementary got annoyed as the kids had to present it and she said it would be too confusing to other kids.  Not my problem.  [/quote]
