[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A teacher's job is to teach and correct and mark work. Work produced for a course is looked at differently than through a parent's eye.  If the teacher never gave any feedback and always just said that everything was amazing, there would be no learning or growth.

I understand you are upset but consider the context - it was in a class. It wasn't criticism, it was evaluation of work.

Rather than seeing it as a negative about the teacher, use it as an opportunity to teach your son about how things are appreciated and perceived differently in different contexts. That something can be beautiful to you but be messy to an art teacher who is looking for skill and execution.[/quote]

You are clueless pp. One of my dc began to hate drawing because of his teacher that year who was shallow and superficial. She criticized his writing and art work often even though he had an IEP and clearly had dysgraphia. I remember one night my child was crying at bed time because of how upset she was that the leaves that he drew and painted didn't have the right colors. It took the kid forever just to do an outline of 2 leaves and she bitched about the colors he chose. I agree that the teachers of "specials" are often very ignorant. We have a pe teacher at my kids hs who hates anything related to ieps and likes to make my child feel horrible about any accommodations dc needs. My spouse and I have talked to everyone we can in the school system and they do nothing. My child's case manager admits the guy is a problem and has been nasty to other special ed students. [/quote]
