[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 670552, member: 16024"] I don't know the depth or breadth of the assignment (or even what grade your son is in). I also don't know how much experience the students have had with research papers, so I may be totally off, but... If it is a paper that needs sources cited, 1st and 2nd drafts, etc. and the students have had minimal exposure to this type of writing assignment, I would expect that they should have had progress checked, drafts looked over, meetings with the teacher to go over what they have written, etc. Maybe some kids can do the assignment with just the help of a 'packet' but many can't. And that includes many students without IEPs. My adult kids had both a six-week class on writing research papers the summer before high school and a semester-long class in 11th in which they produced a 20 or 30-page paper. It was a tremendous help when they went to college. Many of their peers struggled in college because they never had really learned how to do it. And my girls were undaunted by having to write a Master's Thesis. ' [/QUOTE]
