I just listened to our DD10 state something about not wanting her homework to sound like she is too smart. AAAAAAH! The dreaded "dumbing down" syndrome has hit our house! Can you all list some personal conversations, tips, books that you have used to beat back this demon?
FYI - DD is mentored by a college student and is in Science Olympiad so it's not like she isn't surrounded by people who love to learn.
DD is choosing to "dumb down" her writing for language arts. This is where it seems to be an issue.
