My DS talks incessantly in art class - he hates art - he hates the coloring, drawing, cutting and pasting of anything. He is usually done in under 3 minutes and spends the rest of the time talking and clowning with his neighbors. The teacher has to return the work back to him with specific instructions on how to color in more area on the paper or how to add more embellishment to his craft project etc. I tried to volunteer during art time last year to help out with that part of instruction. This year, I just let it go. If something is uninteresting to my child or if he is developmentally not ready to sit still and color and cut and glue and enjoy that process, then so be it. I have other issues about his education that I want to spend time worrying about smile

PS: he got a "below average" grade in art.
