It’s a brave teacher that lets kids create their own Jackson Pollock though. Wind or no wind.
not good enough, sue them into oblivion
More like covering themselves against a Karen mother
You just know there’s at least one insane parent who will ring the school to DEMAND that their precious child’s €5 Dunnes Stores T-shirt be professionally dry cleaned…
Edit: I had a mad art teacher like this in primary school, he was a legend.
Kid comes home with a bit of paint on them.
Me: Looks like you had fun at school today.
A welcome change from making crosses, bold corners and being beaten/terrorised.
sounds like great fun I like a bit of Jackson Pollock me self (
As a preschool teacher, we had, only this week, a parent complain that her daughter was coming home with poster paint on her clothes. Why send her in with clothes that she can’t have rough n tumble in. Parent was asked to supply an apron or over sized tee shirt if she wished. Let kids be kids.
I have twins the constantly come home in a state. Either school or after school. Which the love so they must be doing something right.
When they were small we had a child minder who used to send them in to the garden with spoons to go digging for spiders. Still find the odd spoon in the garden.
I think this is lovely
This is so wholesome for some reason! I love this haha.
I just imagine loads of kids squealing laughing with paint going everywhere. Pure joy!
Fantastic. A tornado of paintings. Love it.
I remember in primary school we had to bring one our dad’s old shirts for art so we could put it on over our uniform to save it from the paint.
I couldn’t imagine the pressure of being a primary school teacher in country of over anxious over worked parents and WhatsApp groups. Nightmare
‘Dear Parents/ **Guardians**.’
This was a letter to Peter Quill, who already knows all about Jackson Pollock.
Your kid’s name is ren?
Sad they even had to send that. I say that as a parent of 1, 4, and 7 yo kids. They are supposed to get dirty
Donal??
Jesus schools have changed. We never got to do art. The closest i got to creative classes was playing the tin whistle where youd get shin kicked if you made a mistake.
That reminds me of the time when I was in 3rd class and we were doing an art class. So I had to go to the toilet. Our class was in a prefab with no toilet, so you had to go to the next prefab and use their toilet. So I go and I come back into the classroom and there’s orange paint on the wall. Apparently our teacher tried to open the paint tube, but it accidently splattered on the wall and I missed it.
That’s written by a teacher who has felt the wrath of parents in the past
My mother was the quintessential 90s mother who would been all smiles to the teacher and apologised we made the mess but went ballistic at home about it and make you feel terrible. She would be convinced the other kids didn’t make a mess at all. I love my mother and she was good with us mostly but I think in the 80s and 90s, it was the opposite to now: instead of my children can’t do wrong, it was expecting your kids were doing the worse. Another example is if someone was minding you for the day, she expected you misbehaved. It wasn’t just her, it seemed common place with parents back then. Anyone else relate?
That’s good teaching. Mistakes happen and this was a tiny one. But they got out in front of it for the Karens. Send me an email when my kid sets a fire. Good work to the teacher. I bet she got hate mail anyway.
Whatever happened to bringing in one of your dad’s old shirts and wearing it backwards as a smock? Does nobody do that anymore? (he asked, boomerly)
Teacher seems like they are fun, sounds like the wind caused fun for students, I hope no parent is upset at them
You should see the state of my daughter when she comes back from school some days! They have a garden, she has a ball digging in it.
Her teacher is great, one of the kids found an animal bone in the school garden, all the little 6 year olds were convinced it was a dinosaur. The teacher is so in tune with the kids that she has organised the school tour this year to a dinosaur park!
Expect more problems next week, when they are painting the ceiling of the nearest chapel.
