Miss Mitchell gave us coloring pages of fruits and vegetables. I colored the grapes green and she marked a big X over them. When I asked the teacher what was wrong she said grapes are purple. I told her I had never seen purple grapes. We had only green grapes at my house. She said I should have colored the grapes purple and don’t argue about it. To me it was like saying I should have colored the lemons purple; it wasn’t my reality. But little did I know that the following day would be even more distressing. Miss Mitchell tried to convert me from being left handed to right handed! Grapes or no grapes, I wasn’t having it.

I enjoy and admire your website very much. You offer wonderful information about the importance of fostering creative thinking skills in our kids.

I’m happy to hear that — what school district are you in?

I wonder the same thing. Worry more than wonder I suppose.
