2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From
what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She

3)
The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent
two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to
effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other
hand, too many child- directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally
unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided
approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach
combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.
