[quote=Anonymous]NP (a teacher): I wouldn't send the email.  I think the concerns you stated can be phrased in the conference (if there is time) as natural follow ons.  How much time has been allotted?

When teacher discusses his language arts progress, respond with, "Thanks for that insight!  We're really struggling with reading log homework.  Do you have any suggestions of how to make it less painful?  Is he misinterpreting the assignment? It feels like a lot of work in our household."

Then listen to what she has to say--maybe she'll suggest he writes one summary at home and does one of them during language arts at school.  Maybe he's been going well beyond what was expected, and the other kids are just writing a couple sentences.  Maybe the other kids aren't having an issue with it, and there's a reason it's challenging for your son.

I would not bring up class dojo unless there is something specific to your son (not "general classroom atmosphere").  "Larlo comes home stressed on days xyz happens.  Can you provide more insight so we can better react at home?"  She's not going to stop using the program if it works for her, just because a parent complains.[/quote]
