[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think you should get a better understanding of how much collaboration the kids are allowed to engage in. They are allowed to share ideas and help each other out. That’s not stealing each other’s work. They usually sit at communal tables. The schools ENCOURAGE that now. I’m concerned that you’re telling your child not to help the other kids, when the teacher is probably telling them to work together.[/quote]

OP here. I left out a few details. DD does not attend the same school as the other child. DD was led to believe that she was assisting with a school assignment not a competition. To complicate matters we are friends with the family so DD felt awkward saying no. It was an essay for those who have asked. This wasn’t a random classmate who asked for DD’s help but a friend known for years. That’s why it was hurtful that an acknowledgement or thank you was not passed along.

DD has no issues working with other students in the classroom. I do realize that students need to learn how to collaborate but that is not what this was.

Thanks to those who responded with thoughtful advice. It was a lesson learned and DD has already moved on. I need to forget about it myself. [/quote]
