Puppets

Here is a problem that I feel should be addressed, why are all my fellow classmates so set against using puppets shows for presentations? Particularly in classes such as English, French or TOK. Even those science presentations from grade nine and such could have used puppets. It cuts down on the face time, memorization time, and the cute factor is always a plus.

So why why why are they so anti-puppets?Sock puppets melt hearts and they take a minute to put together!



All you need is some voice animation, and practically an instant 7 (I.B. rubrick) on creativity. (Not that we ever get graded on that...) Nonetheless, what is with all this snobbery against puppetry in schools???

By the way, I am aware that this is a rather meaningless subject to some, but this is one of my most dire questions concerning high school culture.

  1. I've never done a puppet show and though i can't say that i would shoot it down as a presentation possibility. It is cute, but i'm sure that when a teacher is marking, face time, human face not a puppet's, is important. Some people might also think that a puppet won't be taken seriously, :P.
