Ok, among a few other things, I have Mason's teacher this clothespin thingy for her deskI get a nice note back yesterday saying "I really like the clothespin, I bet Mason put all those things on there!"umm, no, I made it........... I do believe this is the last homemade thing she is getting from me!   I have always given handmade gifts to his teachers and this is the first time someone ever thought is was Mason who made it (you have to know, my kid making any kind of art project)What would you think?

Um...well I made one for ds teacher and I'm thinking she had no clue what it is.I think it looks great!  Maybe being a teacher she was assuming that it was made by him?  I have no clue but again I like it!

I think it looks great! She probably doesn't even know what to use it for, and didn't know what else to say.

I would have interpreted the note as,"In the x amount of months I've been teaching your son, I can believe he would put all those things on there."Not necessarily meaning he DID but that she felt she knew him well enough to think he was capable of doing so!I'd take it as a compliment either way!

Ouch.  I'd be a bit miffed....and I certainly wouldn't be making her anything else.  Ugh.  Sorry, Cec.  I think your stuff is really cool!

She SHOULD know what it was for, since I clipped a note in it saying "to hold your notes" And I have to edit my post, I meant to say my kid HATES art!

I don't think she was being rude at all.  Both  my sister-in-laws are teachers and they get tons of gifts that are made by their students AND their parent.  To me it sounds like she was saying that she really appreciated it and that she was complimenting your child by saying that he helped.  You have to remember that if she is not in the scraping world shes probably never seen one.  Also you should be appreciative of the fact that she sent you a thank you note. I am really surprised at the negative comments to this thread, but then again I am overly protective of teachers due to the fact that I do have two in my family.  JMO.
