I'm a little miffed right now. B's report card came and his Art teacher gave him Unsatisfactory because she states he has no understanding of art concept.

Tell me...in your honest opinion, does the boy who took this pic have no understanding of art concept?

B may not like to create art with crayons, markers and paint but he certainly is artistic in his own way! What a crock!

Check out more of his pics here . I still have to upload his most current pics and I think that I'll include some picture taking time in his afternoon school sessions.

I can not believe that. I checked out some of his pictures and he definitaly understands art, heck he is better at taking pictures then most people I know! You have every right to be upset with that comment from his art teacher, I know I would be.

WOW That is a wonderful picture. Better than anything I have ever taken. Just let B know that here are a lot of adults on here who think he has a talent for taking pictures.

Thanks folks!

I'm really ticked off right now at the school.

Today's schoolwork says to "highlight the snap words and circle the hunk and chunks"...I know what snap words are but have no clue what hunk and chunks are. B says he doesn't know so he can't do it. I called the school and the secretary asked his teacher and she came back and said..."He should know it. Tell him to circle them"



I'm gonna look into home schooling...see what all it entails. It's obvious that B is better off being taught by me.

PM me and I can give you info on homeschooling. I have checked a couple of my recoueces and can't find "hunks and chunks" try the web site for the cirruclium.

Thanks to 20kidsonhill for helping me out with hunk and chunks! I'm still not 100% about them but you helped tremendously!

"Hunks and Chunks"???? You've got to be kidding! And the fact the teacher wouldn't answer your question? I realize I live closer to town than you do, but I'd have been in there with a face to face in about 5 min. For me to say that is really something as I am a teacher's kid. That "teacher" needs an attitude adjustment, big and bad...

Also have to comment on the "unsatisfactory" in art. This is what I would say to that... HE'S IN KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!! For Pete's sake... I'd say you have trouble in that school. I'd check into homeschooling too. That is really sad and absolutely pathetic... I'm sorry your school isn't a helpful resource to you and your family.

We are a country school district and the school is only 5 minutes from us. It's just not worth my time today. We will be having a conference with that school very soon and they will soon realize what I have to say.

We've decided that we'll homeschool. I hate to make snap decisions but this is what's best for him. I just gotta get myself together to figure it all out.
