[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]

All of this is bullsh$t.  The child was in KINDERGARTEN.  Kindergarten.  Let that sink in.  There isn't anything in the "art rubric" where children at 5 years of age have skill and execution at art.  He dripped paint on his shirt and she was "disappointed."  OMIGOD.  And it wasn't a "class in art" as in the child was taking an art class at 12 years old about how to make use of light and shadow, or achieving perspective by using specific skill sets, etc.  He was in KINDERGARTEN - this was one of the "specials" in his school.

I'm so upset now, not only about OP's poor child BUT ALSO about this PP's statement.  I hope you aren't an art or music teacher. [/quote]
