When teachers give overly stringent instructions on assignments that would benefit from creativity or guide children through every single step, it stifles the child’s natural instincts and self-expression. It keeps them from testing boundaries and experimenting. They cannot learn to think for themselves or develop self-confidence.
Here’s something most people wouldn’t think about when picking a school: are children allowed to do their own work? You might think this is a given considering the emphasis schools put on not cheating, but sometimes it’s the teachers who keep children from doing the work themselves.
This is the most apparent in art projects, so we’ll use that as an example. Say a teacher tells the class they are going to paint flowers today, but they must all use the same colors and techniques. What is being accomplished? Every picture looks the same and all the children learned was to follow directions.
Similarly, if the teacher must give very specific guidance to help the students achieve the desired results, this is a sign that the work may not be age-appropriate and that learning has taken a backseat to the final product.
