I put them in the family folders which the parents are -supposed- to check on a regular basis. Of course, some of those folders were really full of stuff, so... well... I did what I could. I did have one parent come to me after the fact and let me know that her daughter had been bugging her about it for a week, but she just hadn't been paying attention.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-6971589790512078022013-05-24T06:50:41.279-07:002013-05-24T06:50:41.279-07:00Oh what a neat project!

Middle schoolers are just...scattered. Poor parents is my thinking...they probably don't even know what they're missing. But if we can buy it, surely they can, right? Which I will do...just not this second as I'm waiting for tech support to call me. Not kidding.

I didn't have a single thing turned in before April. Even my son has three stories he wrote that he didn't get typed up in time. heh<br /><br />ABftS: I don't think it's so much that the parents don't care as that they're just not paying attention. It works out to be the same thing, though.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-87134756753433817182013-05-23T06:55:10.110-07:002013-05-23T06:55:10.110-07:00Very cool to see another one of these out.

My parents aren't huge fans of my writing career, but they'll still insist on buying all of my books, even now.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-84563227157166032172013-05-23T03:43:52.284-07:002013-05-23T03:43:52.284-07:00It is sad you had to reject some kids.

If my kids had been published like that I would be the crazy Mom ordering 10 copies, one to keep and 9 to send out to other family. I love to hear of programs like this that encourage kids to write and be creative...hats off to you Andrew!E. M.
