I thought you were my teacher for a sec .__. i draw anime crap in my notebook aha

I don't normally support behaviour that could be seen as disrespectful but I'll be honest...I spent my high school years drawing anime style pics, playing on my DS or sleeping. Through my Diploma course I drew pictures or just didn't turn up. I got good marks. All those people saying she shouldn't be drawing - you have no idea how mind numbingly boring and soul destroying it is to get out your pen and paper, actively listen through a four hour lesson and only come away with two lines of notes because everything else you either already knew, was common sense or in some cases was just plain wrong. And then you have to deal with some teacher moaning that you need to pay attention/you're going to fail/it's disrespectful when really, you listened through the whole thing but unfortunately their class was just shit. That pretty much sums up my last two years - so glad to be moving on to a different course.

She has every right to say her art work is crap ........unless it was an art class....the student should do her work or stop drawing terrible anime or...OR just GTFO!

And that is probably one of the people that is going to fail a bunch of classes and end up going back to college when she gets more mature. FYL for having to deal with people like this who probably just got their way to college paid for by their parents and just spend the whole time partying.

52- if you're constantly drawing, you probably don't have much time to take notes.

**** my class? Well you did F it alright !!! Have fun coming back to retake it.!!

She said she was checking the notes, not grading them, where are you guys getting that from? I know people who have used art classes as ways to improve their anime drawings and from there work up to their own or even go in another style altogether! Teacher, I really hope you would be professional enough to not say anything bad about a medium she enjoys in front of her or to her directly. Personal opinions are fine and everyone has them, of course, but openly judging someone else's work, and your own student on top of that is a little harsh based on the fact it is done on a cartoon styling you disagree with. I cannot vote either way here as there is not enough information.

I doubt it was terrible anime drawings, the teacher probably isnt a huge fan of anime thats all. Then again i am just assuming.

YDI. notes are private, maybe you are not teaching to fit her learning style. If its college, who cares if shes doodling. If its high school or below, a good teacher doesn't just lecture every damn day. Instead of forcing students to hand in notes when they obviously can't pay attention, change the way you teach it.

Geez, you guys are all getting defensive about the anime... OP probably would have called it crap no matter what style of art it was because she was pissed the girl was drawing instead of paying attention in class.
