[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 335183, member: 6546"] Marg-- I LOVE your sample email to the teacher! I also agree with your philosophy of investigating the facts behind the mythology. believe it or not--that's always been very big at my house. I love history and have always taken the opportunity to show my kids the "truth" behind popular stories. And so after reading your response...(and finding myself wholeheartedly in agreement with it)...I realize that the problem is not the research project itself. Clearly, there is all kinds of material that difficult child [I]could[/I] use...even if it's not specifically addressing Renfield's Syndrome. The problem is that this project has become another item in difficult child's alternate universe. difficult child is not interested in facts, as we know them. I think difficult child is interested in proving the existence of vampires using Renfield's Syndrome. It might explain why the story about the research paper keeps changing....and why not one of the books on human psychology is right for the project...and why the information difficult child sees on her Vampire and Manga websites is OK to use as source material.
