To ask what teachers do with drawings/pictures from pupils?

[shuz1980]

My son takes in a drawing for his teacher everyday. Im guessing other children do also. Question is, teachers... What do you do with them all? Do you keep them? Do you bin them? So curious to know

Good work heaven.

Some go up above my desk for a bit.

Most get binned (but never so the child can see / would know).

A very few special ones are kept.

Same as I do with my own dc’s artwork really.

Put them in my "special box" (ie the bin after children have gone home for the day). It would be completely impractical to keep them all. I still enjoy when children tell me about their pictures though!

I keep some - not all (you couldn't!) but have a selection from classes down through the years in a special box. I also put anything I get on the wall above my desk.

A lot gets binned yes but never where a child might see/find it. Same as what a parent would do surely?

I tell them that it gets stuck to my fridge at home. Some special ones I keep, some I bin once they’ve gone home (usually the hurried colouring in book scribbles)
I do have a couple up in my house like a really charming one of a sausage dog that brings me joy!

On the wall beside my desk for a bit then binned. I don’t keep many drawings from my own children either!

On the wall by my desk for a week then recycled when the kids have gone home.

I bought a frame in and blutacked it to my board. I pop them in there. A day of glory, then back to the kid or bin. In year 6 they are fewer and of better quality. I get some quite weird stuff. The frame gets changed each Monday. There's a box if there's a backlog.

Somewhere I have the very accurate drawing of a cow giving birth that was given to my by a boy in my first ever form. He was 11 at the time. He'd now be 33 😂
