“I can’t believe actual teachers suggested the game “critic.” Having four children draw a picture on the board and having a fifth choose whose they like the best might be one of the worst classroom activities I have ever heard of, unless you enjoy having 3/4 of your students sad, disappointed and perhaps humiliated. Even worse,this activity may blatantly set students with myriad disabilities up for failure.
I am not from the everyone-gets-a-trophy generation, but I do believe that we can structure activities where no one gets a trophy, but everyone has the potential to succeed. This activity has 3 clear losers, zero educational value.
Listen with a discerning ear.”
