[quote=Anonymous]It's personal just like any other adult relationship.... except that this is a very important relationship for your child with his/her teacher. As adults, we're able to quickly judge whether we connect with another adult (i.e. teacher). Just because you have a negative impression towards a particlar teacher, it's important to keep that inside. Some teachers can be aloof with adults and great with kids. You may not connect with a teacher, but the litmus test is whether your child connects with the teacher. Give it time and ask poignant questions about their day. The important relationship is the teacher/child relationship even if you don't necessarily connect right away/ever with their teacher. Try to see what your kid sees in a typical day and get engrossed in learning about what they do each day. You may be surprised. Our kids have had plenty of teachers I didn't connect with that were great teachers. Reflect on what a great teacher meant to you during this same time period. Did your parents necessarily get/understand that this teacher was so great?[/quote]
