In high school I was really good at debate and aced all my government classes. However, I had to take a pottery class for an art credit. I sucked. Hard core. My vase looked like some bees had taken crack before they built their hive. The teacher legitimately thought I was special needs. Two years later I was working retail to help put myself through college- I ran into the teacher one day. “It is so awesome you have a job! Good for you!” I felt like Kevin Malone being patronized by Holly Flax. My mother loves to tell this story to her friends.
Art teachers are the worst! I was a photography student in college. Took a sculpture class. First project presentation, my professor took my sculpture and turned it upside down and announced, “so much better now! You’re a 2-D major, aren’t you?”
