First grade girl handed in the drawing below for her homework assignment

[WoodPeckr]

She returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be perfectly clear on my child's homework illustration.
It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint surrounded by male customers with money.
I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm.
This drawing is of me selling a shovel.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Harrington

So what is your opinion of this teacher

She tells her students to draw without teaching them a dam thing about how to so they end up with stick figures

Useless and unqualified teacher IMHO


The qualifications to teach is any useless degree

Well in the teacher's defense, she was teaching elementary class students....

So that is a reason not to teach them anything !

They are 5 and 6 years old

Do you not believe they can understand basic drawing concepts

I fail to see the benefit of having them draw stick figures , indeed, it may well retard their progress as now they feel incompetent that their best effort ends up in a stick figure

If a student was taught how to draw by their parents I would imagine the children gathering around as that student taught them how to use shading for depth etc and did the teachers job

I will bet a body slide that teacher cannot draw anything above a stick figure which makes them useless and even destructive


The qualifications to teach is a useless arts degree that has nothing to do with teaching then some time at teachers college
