[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I think there is a balance needed.  My first grader has a playground that she is supposed to create at home that is supposed to be mainly created by her.  She is not capable of doing this by herself.  I have no problem working with her and find it to be fun...until I see on Facebook the other projects that were created- which were certainly not created mostly by the children.  Now I am worried that when she brings her project in and the parents come to see them later in the week she will be embarrassed since it is her work (with help) and not just my vision and execution like some of the others I viewed.  I work full time and do the best I can but cannot dedicate all of my time to a project, nor is it the right message for my child.  Like the leprechaun trap mentioned earlier, if kindergarten/first grade level projects were what was expected everyone would be fine with it, but since the projects have gotten so out of hand, it takes hours of work and is not what the teachers intended (or at least not what I think they expect) and this is just so the children don't get embarrassed.  Anyways, this is just my opinion.[/quote]
