Re: Parental involvement.. Back when I was a kid [Isn't it great to be able to say that as a parent <s>] My parents "involvement" was narrowly focused. It was my job to learn; I had books. Mom took care of the house; Dad was a machinist and the both of them worked damn hard [they made that point perfectly clear]. If I didn't learn, it was my own fault. My parents didn't do my projects for me; that was my job. Learning math was my problem. If I didn't get good grades, there was hell to pay [that was their job, dishing out hell, and they were quite good at it]. I've heard a more than few parents with children talk about science projects/fairs. They'll say something like..."there is NO WAY that a 12 year old did that project!" On the positive side, you can say that the parents of that 12-year old were involved....I'd be inclined to be a bit tougher...give the parents the grade for the project and give the kid an F for plagerism. I'm a hard-a$$ liberal. jttmab
