Why do teachers wait until the last minute on Science Fair Projects?

Question

My daughter was told that her science fair project is due on Friday. She got her science board on Monday from the teacher. Why don't some teachers tell students in a more timely manner? I've seen all the papers she has on the science fair and there are no due dates. I make sure I know what she is doing in school every day and what is due. (Just like real science at times I guess.) (By the way my kid is a nerdy honors--Who's Who in middle school type kid). Looks like she will be "fudging" data this year!!

Answer 1

You should send your daughter's teacher an email straightaway. If this poor teaching behaviour continues, it could have serious impacts on your childs grades.

Answer 2

I would email the teacher and ask her this question. You may find there were dates posted on the board for the last month. Even "nerdy honor students" can fail to write down all the information sometimes. I know my stepdaughter has from time to time.

I am sick of parents CONSTANTLY and publicly blaming teachers for EVERYTHING. Try giving your kids teacher the benefit of the doubt....and stop publicly bashing educators. It is a hard job. Because from every child like yours there are at least 3 kids who could care less and would rather try to text, or talk, or be rude, etc.....than learn.

Answer 3

It isn't all teachers. Some teachers are poorly organized and they stink at getting materials out to their students.

It also depends on the school itself. Schools will generally host science fairs because they look good, but the school might not spend much time on science due to the high demands of state testing which is focused on reading, writing and math. (Which can integrate science and social studies, often times, however, those subjects are kicked to the side lines.)

So to answer your question--It isn't all teachers, just some.

Answer 4

at the same time as i change into in fifth grade, I did a challenge about the learn of the gas used for autos. I did a survey on that is favored, accurate price or customary, and likewise did extreme study about the transformations between both octanes, and placed fairly an exciting end.

Answer 5

I have no idea what you're talking about. In my experience, 90% of my teachers from 1st grade through college gave me too much time for projects. Besides, short deadlines are better preparation for the real world than deadlines that are just right.

Answer 6

I would send the email and see if the teacher would email your daughters assignments. See the principal and ask questions.
