[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember my mom helping me quite a bit with projects when I was in elementary school -- she was an artist, and the creations we made were over the top and took days of work.  It was an awesome experience for me, though, giving me time with my mom, teaching me tricks I'd never have thought about....It's elementary school, it's not like the teacher is awarding a cash prize for the best project.  Why do you care?[/quote]
Oh -- and I actually went to Stanford.  And then to a top-5 grad school program.  (Shout out to the poster above me).  All you people saying it's detrimental to kids are ridiculous.[/quote]

Exactly.  And I think that it benefits every child in the class to see how normal, household things can be used to make a mental image a reality.

I always thought it was fun to see them really checking out each others projects and how things like modeling clay can be used to create a universe.  Or how a shoe box can become a diorama with a miniature world inside.  They all benefit from the creativity of these projects.[/quote]
