Just curious what is "normal" in terms of parents helping a gifted (non-2e child) with homework? Apparently some of the teachers in DD's gifted program are very upset with parents for helping their child write/type reports, projects, etc., and are telling the parents that if they continue to help, they will give the child an F. Kids are being grilled on whether their parents assisted or not. I can understand that for, say, a 10th grader, but these kids are in fourth grade and the teacher gives huge assignments, like write a report with 12 paragraphs on New Jersey.
Here I thought that by NOT helping (and at times DD not doing anything resembling the assignment), I would look neglectful, like I'm not supporting my child's education, but the teachers are now on a witch hunt trying to find out which kids are getting help.
