[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about having your DC paint a picture and framing it at Michaels.  Or you could organize a paint party for the entire class and have the kids paint a really large picture and get the parents to chip in to have a pro mat and frame it.  I think kids art is really cool especially when it is framed nicely. [/quote]

Sorry to be blunt, but I have enough of my own kids' artwork and photos that are still sitting in drawers unframed... the likelihood that I will put another kid's artwork on my wall is slim to none.  [/quote]

Well I think it is a nice idea. All teachers are not like you and do not struggle to hang up their own kids artwork.Most teachers are the most organized people I have ever encountered!  [b]It is especially nice for teachers who do not have kids. [/b][/quote]

not any of the PPs above

But - as a teacher - I agree with the teacher's response.  When I was single, I was not about to hang students' work on my walls. I have plenty of pals who are artists (art teachers) from whom I've received art work.  It's a little self-centered to be thinking of your own children's work as the perfect gift.

Wow people, how rude. I mean, the gift is actually coming from the child you know.[/b]

Come on, think about this.  You have no idea how the teacher has her house decorated and what would even match.  You don't know her taste.  Giving someone artwork of any kind without seeing their house is ill advised... and giving artwork made by your child is frankly, presumptuous.[/quote]
