[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You didn’t read the thread did you? I clearly stated you know it’s a bs project when the teacher basically says it is. The teacher said this is designed to be a grade booster and will be graded on effort and participation only. Thanks but no thanks. My kid worked their butts off all year and has a solid A. We don’t need the extra work or hassle. It should be optional for kids who don’t need the grade boost.[/quote]

Lol, the royal "we" here says a lot![/quote]

I caught that, too! [/quote]

It becomes a family problem because now we can’t go anywhere for the holiday weekend because the bs project is due after it. So yes “we” don’t need the hassle. We want family time, not have to worry about a bs project over the break.[/quote]
