Because it looked identical to everyone else’s.

Mrs. Downs 1, Abby, 0.

Today’s society rewards Conformity not Creativity

If this teacher is flawed in this way, she may be flawed in other ways. Keep a careful eye on it.

And another student gets to rise to their own level of mediocrity.

Think inside the box.

Mrs Downs forgets that if it were not for imagination, there would be NO inventions or scientific discoveries. You need to imagine it before you can do it.

Well, of course she gave him an “A”. She doesn’t want another visit from Abby.

Harry Chapin said it all in “Flowers are Red”.

Good for Mrs. Downs to allow a do-over!

Good training for work. The boss is always right – even when they’re an idiot. :)

Mazzeltov.

I would have hated this assignment because I was and am so bad at art, and crafts… forget thinking outside the box – I wouldn’t have been able to make a box, period!

“Flowers are red, green leaves are green, there’s no reaon to see anything than the way they have always been seen…” One of Harry Chapin’s sadder songson the destruction of kids’ creativity in school…

Follow by the rules, get a good grade. Told ya!!!!

Why is this mother going to school and ragging on this teacher, if this kid has a problem with his grade why didn’t he go ask and follow through on his own? Is his mommy going to pick up after and fight his battles his whole life?

Think inside the box, lad. You’re part of The Wall now.

Pity anyone who disagrees with her
