I applaud caregivers who work with their students on projects. That can be a wonderful bonding experience. However, if a caregiver gives excessive help the student misses out on a learning activity. Projects are designed to teach not to torment. If there is a problem I need to know about it early in the process. WOW points up to 20 are given for “Wow factor” projects. Projects handed in by September 17 receive 10 extra points.
