If I display artwork, I display the whole class. All kids deserve to have their art displayed and deserve to feel great about seeing their artwork in the hallways, no matter what it looks like. The same few kids always get picked and tagged as “the best”… But who is helping to boost the confidence of the kids who don’t normally get the spotlight?
Some teachers only choose the best out of each class to display. This practice always makes me feel uneasy, but I am always impressed at how nice their bulletin boards look and grapple with this moral dilemma.
Both look great. But one makes me feel really good about myself, and the other makes me feel guilty for leaving kids out. So, I am faced with a “Display Dilemma!”
Should you display the whole class or pick the best out of each class?
