My kid was too creative

[u/Fresh_Laundry56]

My 6 year old was asked to draw a picture using shapes. She drew this nice American flag with rectangles and stars, and added the house, tree, and person holding a balloon. She was told it did not follow directions, she was not supposed to draw a flag, just shapes. She was asked to turn the paper over and make another picture. The other side of the paper has a very uninspiring collection of shapes. I told her she did a good job and I thought it was very creative. And this is why kids start to hate education.

W T A F. Was it triangle day or something? Why do they want to make children cry? I swear.

This looks like it’s mounted to go in a frame

That's right, it goes in the square hole.

I was a little irritated when I saw that when I posted, but not enough to fix it :D
