Most projects are not relevant, and they have meticulous checklists and rubrics that thwart the development of original thought and problem-solving skills. This is in drastic contrast with the expectations placed on the students once they enter college or the workforce: that is to research, learn independently and work with others to create innovative solutions to very complex problems.
