[quote=Anonymous][quote] Basically all my children hate these "art" assignments in their non-art classes. My youngest child spent hours trying to make an illustration for an English class, and the teacher gave them a bad grade because they said it looked like they had drawn it in 5 minutes. This is a 9th grade English class, not an art class! Why can't they actually read a novel, instead of spending time on art projects? [/quote] This is so unfair especially since some teachers don't grade for grammar and spelling in non-English classes. In English class, if the assignment is to draw something to demonstrate your understanding of the material, you definitely should be graded on the content, not the quality of the art![/quote]
