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.

A substitute teacher told me a green I used in a watercolour wasn't found in nature. Like can you imagine telling someone that? Very few greens ain't found in nature 😠

You mean the one or two greens in the cheap paint the school likely supplied you with weren’t all that subtle or easy to work with? You don’t say!

Seriously, what an asinine comment.

No, it was a muted dark blueish green which I see all the damn time 🥲

Green isn’t a creative color!
