 A parent recently told me her son’s teacher refused to let him submit a project in a different format that was more interesting to him, because “she doesn’t teach that way”. The high schooler asked if he could do the same project to achieve the same lesson objective, but through a creative writing instead, since this is where his interest lies. The student’s mother contacted the teacher who confirmed her son’s story – she would NOT consider any other project format for any of her lessons.
So the mother contacted the …
