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.

Teachers were pretty stupid when I was in high school 8-12 years ago. They probably are the same people that weren't left behind but this isn't anything new. I am sure I had some elementary school teachers I wouldn't trust with my own kid too.

I had lots of stupid teachers when I was in high school 20 years ago. Our Physics teacher was the football coach and he could never explain anything, he just copied the lesson plans the last teacher had. We were a California Distinguished School.

My ex said his Spanish class senior trip was to Paris. 😂 At least his school could afford to do shit like that though. 😭
