[quote=Anonymous][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]

NP. I get this. Well said. Its a point that Op probably didn't consider. But, sometimes I find that some teachers are very mechanical in their delivery and forget about the hours, days, or weeks that they saw a child working on an assignment. Particularly, those kids that they know were trying really hard. They deliver their critique matter-of-factly and forget that they are dealing with young, impressionable kids they take every word that they say to heart. [/quote]

DP  I struggle to understand why ANY criticism could be appropriate for a KINDERGARTENER's self portrait. Who the f*ck are you people?![/quote]
