[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's art teacher sounds like my DS's art teacher. She is an incredible artist but has no patience for children with special needs. She finds them too wiggly, too messy, too unpredictable and thinks they are not following directions when they just can't do what she commands. Like not spilling a drop of paint accidentally on a self-portrait. She then gives them Bs, starting in K, and tells them they are failures at art.

She has sapped almost all the love of art from my child with dysgraphia. I think she should quit teaching at a public school and go teach at an art studio where she can have more control. I'm so depressed just thinking there are lots of these teachers out there.[/quote]

This sounds like my daughter's music teacher.  :(  My daughter has dyslexia and needs to work EXTRA hard and needs added time to complete assignments that involve reading/writing.  Her music teacher chose not to pay attention to my daughter's background and constantly forced her to do all the assignments the same way the other kids did.  It was all I could do to avoid stomping into that school and wringing the breath out of that lady.  She was so smug and self-satisfied and really beat down on this poor kid who was trying desperately each and every day.

Music, art, other "specials" teachers -- PLEASE  realize what an impact you have on these kids. PLEASE.  [/quote]
