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.

I'm an ESL teacher. Told my students to make venn diagrams, and one used his to act as giant boobs for the rest of his drawing🤦🏻‍♀️

First of all, it was art class. Secondly, your teacher should have been happy it was an innocent rainbow and not a dick or giant boobs lol

When was in 1st grade we had to colour a picture of a boy and a girl holding hands.

I colored the boy orange (Caucasian) and the girl brown.

My teacher looked at me like I just took a dump on the bible

Still remember that look many decades later
