Australian writer and businesswoman Constance Hall has, once again, bravely spoken a sentiment which many parents silently feel about their kids. But this time, she’s shared a heartbreaking reality for many school children, including her own daughter.
The 35-year-old, who is mother to Billie-Violet, Arlo-Love, twins Rumi and Snow, and Raja, as well as step-kids Zeyke and Sunny with her husband Denim Cooke, posted a photo of her eldest daughter on Instagram on the weekend, with a commentary about school competitions.
The photo shows Billie-Violet drawing a lion sketch at home.
“There is this school in Melbourne that makes all of the kids draw a picture in front of the school,” Hall writes in the caption.
“One by one they have to stand up at assembly and draw a portrait. While the whole school including the parents watch.”

Schools certainly have reduced education in the arts and humanities.
It may, however, give the kids who are good at swimming or athletics but hopeless at art or maths or english a chance to shine when the rest of the time THEY feel like everyone is laughing at them.
