No one said school projects would be easy
Most students don’t struggle with school projects because they’re lazy.
They struggle because:
• They don’t know where to start or what to do next
• The instructions feel confusing or overwhelming
• The project is so big it’s hard to break into smaller steps
• They run out of time and end up rushing at the last minute
• They’re not sure what “good enough” looks like for their teacher
