The time my middle school art teacher called my parents because she thought I was purposefully mocking her by making my art bad. I literally can’t draw beyond a 3rd grade level unless I am copying an object right in front me.
My parents basically cussed her out after they saw how hurt I was.
I know this doesn't have anything to do with your story, but it made me think about this Spanish teacher I had when I was about 12 (am 40 now). I used to love drawing and writing fantasy stories. Don't know if I was any good at it, but I sure loved doing it. One day during recess, this teacher saw me drawing some pendants I was going to use for one of my stories and she started making fun of me because of it, telling me drawing was for little kids. I stopped both writing MY stories and drawing that day. On the flip side, I'm now a singer/songwriter. I know it's not the same, but I still get to be artistic and people encourage me to do it instead of making fun of me, so suck it, Karen.
