[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who decides what’s a “BS” project? In 10th grade my kids are doing a research project because we had to tie in research and media standards based on the updated 2024 SOLs. It’s not a passive project on my end and is involves teaching them the research process, evaluating sources, paraphrasing content and citing their sources, creating a final product for which they need a template we made, etc etc. It’s completely standards aligned and skills-focused and I could not have covered the major standards for this grade level had I just taken OP’s idea of doing no teaching or learning for the last MONTH of school. That’s nuts.[/quote]

That is not a BS project, and no one is complaining about projects like you have described. We are complaining about what is effectively a coloring project in calculus or AP history, or similar. No actual learning happening, no guidance from the teacher, “easy A” so no one complaints. Well.. besides few who’d rather learn something or wouldn’t be bothered. [/quote]
