Received this FB message today from a childhood friend: Kenny I saw your name in NY Mag (article about Sothebys in present issue) and thought of you. Funniest thing I have such a vivid memory of the art teacher at PS No. 1 School (4th or 5th grade?) Ms. Woodrow yelling at you because you were doing a bad job on an art assignment. It always stuck with me. In fact, an art teacher at my daughters school was so mean to her that I went after her big time and basically made her humiliate herself in front of the whole school bc she reminded me of Ms. W. She should only see you now! To which I replied: So funny, thankfully i have no recollection of that or much else (at our age). But i do remember my creative writing teacher in university telling me i couldnt, and shoudlnt write and I now I teach contemporary art and contribute to the NY Observer, GQ and have written for a handful of books. So there you go, let your daughter know its a good experience to have to brush aside such asinine, unproductive criticisms and follow your dreams. I thought they licensed teachers to teach, not to undermine, jeez? nymag/news/features/sothebys-daniel-loeb-2014-3/
