Chinmay 🧺 📈

I don't know what other parents think about it, but I hate this about schools. My kid's teacher sent this email to the whole class. I'm happy that they are taking an initiative for some fun activities at the school. I'm really grateful for that. What I don't like is that they are restricting the creativity of the kids at the early age. I know that Pikachu, Unicorns, and Sonic are not real animals. But what if my kid likes them? (fyi, he likes trucks and have no interests in animals whatsoever.) Isn't that the teacher's job to help them categorize them into "imaginary animals"? Am i expecting too much? Instead of supporting the creativity, I believe that they're stopping it at the roots. I can get a little opinionated when it comes to kids, wouldn't you feel the same?

Otoh, the teacher asked for stuffed animals. Probably to show them in the class, ask where they live, what they eat, etc. My kid may like cars, but they are not animals, so, she shouldn't bring a car. I think it's good to help children define things, and help them understand that there is a set of objects or concepts, and some objects belong to the set, and some don't. And that we classify the elements of a set in subsets.

I think its actually a positive for their creativity to restrict franchise stuffed animals. Franchise toys already have a lore and ideas attached to them and are modeled after someone else's ideas (probably with a monetary interest). Other stuffed animals are a blank canvas that children can draw their ideas on and that they can connect with real life events. In this case it could also be a lesson on environmental impact. I'd always wait and see what the kid tells you and most of them time there was an intention. Reward the teacher's initiative by keeping an open mind. He could have just showed them pictures. Instead he probably tries to connect different meaningful concepts (I might be wrong)
