Mom Gets Called Down To Daughter's School About The 'Bowtie' The 11-Year-Old Drew On Her Art Project

Carter’s daughter is in 5th grade, 11 years old, and “her teacher told me that my daughter had drawn something inappropriate in the art class.”

“A little boy had come up to her and made her aware that he thought my daughter drew ‘boy parts’ on her pig project,” Carter explained.

------------

She truly believes that it just looks like a bowtie — her daughter is 11, and she explains that she has never been inappropriate at home, drawn anything inappropriate, and has never even talked about “boy parts,” “girl parts,” or anything of that sort.

In order to figure out what should be done, they asked the Principal what they thought.

----------------

The principal relented, explaining that this time he wouldn’t write her up, but would keep her drawing for safekeeping in case something in a similar capacity were to arise in the future.

I hear you and very true, but thought it was likely still that. It's so 11 year old boyish. Joinfortmill Jan 2023 #32
