I will try not to overdo the involvement. So far I have emailed him two sources and he's emailed me two notecards. I found a video how to make plant cuttings on the web so that was today's assignment. I have two books from the library because by the time he gets home the library will be closed, one for kids and one Botany for Gardeners. I'm just glad to see that he's doing "something." It so easy to give up when the job looks too big.
The school complains that the children can't think critically about the source of the Internet information. I think that this is a little odd, because most of the information on serious topics is quite serious. Can you picture a blog on Ancient Egypt by a naughty high schooler? Doesn't seem too likely. Besides my son has already learned that you can't take everything you read on the Internet at face value - he's been surfing for game cheat codes for years - and he's had some bad experiences with that! LOL!
