[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I appreciate that the optional science fair at our school has clear guidelines. First of all, no grades or awards are given, so that pressure is off. The information clearly states that K-1 students can have parents help type/make their boards using the student's own words, but by 2nd grade students and up should do all their own writing or typing. This resulted in a wonderful variety of boards with large crooked print done in magic markers, graphs written by hand and lots of experiments about food, snap circuits and toys. The judges walked around to give written feedback and encouragement. I found it refreshing. [/quote]

Meh, the kids don't care about that, they care they had a crappy project. I let my kid do a project herself once back in 1st grade and learned my lesson fast. Sure they teacher praised her and all of that but guess what? My kid still wanted a really good looking project like all the other kids had. Little kids are rarely trail blazers and just prefer to have the same thing as their peers.[/quote]

Yeah.. forget the whole learning process part of it.  As long as it looks like everyone else's.[/quote]
