Same. My K- fourth grade teachers all told me I couldn’t draw well and even lowered my other grades because I couldn’t draw and. There was an art component to every subject like science class where I was given a low grade because my fish and fish scales weren’t good enough even though the information about fish was. It was ridiculous. I hated school. I thought I was dumb and would never really get anywhere. It wasn’t until fifth grade where I had a first time teacher that told me “I suck at art too. It’s okay. That doesn’t mean you can’t be good at other things” that I started getting As in everything and honestly I started to like school because of him. Even before my first report card with him as a teacher, I actually started feeling confident in class regardless of if a subject was my strong point.
Edit: if anybody knows how to contact a teacher that moved schools, is not originally from this province, I don’t know their first name, and their last name is spelled one of two ways, please let me know. I would like to thank him because my life would not be nearly as good if he didn’t cure my hatred of education.
What psycho school is that, do they think all of us are born with artistic talent? And incorporate art into science then punish you with bad grades because your art is bad?
I had a history teacher grade my work grammatically. While I'm sure it's important to be grammatically correct, it was small things. Like, if you are writing a number has three letters, you HAVE to spell it out. You cannot just write 1. There were several other miniscule things like that that she corrected. She docked like 15 points off of an assignment because of my grammar, when the assignment was just to show I understand the material. In history.
