I had a not so good meeting with dd's teacher a few weeks ago and during the meeting she told me she didn't think my dd was very creative. An example she gave was that for writing assignments my dd will also use the same characters in the assignment and tailor them to what the teacher is asking for in the assignment.

I was talking to my sister who has a masters in English and is a high school English teacher (granted she doesn't work with little kids) and she said she thinks dd's conforming her characters to the assignment shows creativity.

I'm curious to hear what others think.
