Science projects in Long Beach Unified are basically homework for parents. This has been very time consuming. Not in the actual "science" part of it; rather the documentation of it. The standards are the same for K all the way up through the grades. It makes it impossible for the kids to actually do it all on their own. Perry managed to type his written report. Sage actually typed most of hers, letter by letter (a mother's love). The presentation boards are the real killers. Please take a look at Sage's and Perry's. They look so simple don't they? After mounting the typed up information on colored paper and making sure everything is the correct size, I just hope they stay secure for the next week. Now tell me, if the parents have already "helped" with this project, why would they be interested in seeing these boards on display for Open house? Oh yes, so they can see what the other parents/kids did for their project.

Well, they look good, but yeah, you don't need to see the project you've already worked on!
I guess you go to see if your work won anything.
