[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason for my child to take a foreign language class is to get proficiency in that language. What the OP’s child did reflected that goal and showed that proficiency. 
The reason for my child to take English is to learn poetry and be able to compose one. The OP’s child did exactly the task needed, while drawing borders was completely irrelevant. 
The teacher of OP’s child is grading compliance, not academic content, which is ridiculous. 
If my main purpose for sending a child to school was to teach him to follow directions, I’ll give him a map of DC, directions, and ask to find some random addresses. 
If compliance is so important, have a separate grade for it, but don’t confuse it with the academic grades.[/quote]

I assume that you homeschool, because either you or your children cannot function in the real world. Or maybe both.[/quote]

Haha. You assume wrong. A school is an academic environment and should measure academic merit, not compliance with some arbitrary rules. [/quote]
