how do I communicate with the art teachers with some problems

[Anonymous]

DC is in a private school.
the art teachers always put the kids' work on the web site or on the wall of hallway. however, we noticed that our kid's artwork is always not among those.
how do I talk to the art teacher?
thanks for your input.

Call or email and ask how they decide which children's art gets displayed and ask that all children including your's be given a chance to have their art displayed.

If it's bothering your child, I'd say something like, "Johnny gets so excited when he sees the artwork go up, but lately it seems like his work is never included. Do you have a system for rotating whose work gets shown?"

If it's only bothering you, I don't think I'd say anything.

I agree with this. I volunteer at my kids' school to hang up artwork. We either hang every item in the class or none, to avoid this very problem.

not to be mean - But does the teacher tend to display "top quality" work often produced by the same students?

That would be a red flag for me.

Ugh!!! I hate this. This sort of thing happened to us--not in a private school but at a place called Monart in Gaithersburg, MD. I had signed my 4 year old son up for an art class there and they never once hung my son's art and he noticed (his art skills were pretty weak but he loved it!). He asked me why it was that all the other kids' artwork was hung but his. So, out of character for me (as I tend to be shy), I talked to the owner about it. He told me that there wasn't enough wall space for all of the kids to get a chance on the wall. This was the most ridiculous response--their studio space took up nearly an entire floor of the office building. And on top of it, they had a web page dedicated to the students' art work (which obviously has relatively unlimited space--and they didn't once put up my son's art work.) I guess it wasn't a good enough reflection of the "quality" of their overpriced art classes for preschoolers. I'm getting heated up just remembering it! Anyways, I let my money do the talking and stopped sending my son. Sorry--just wanted to commiserate.
