[quote=Anonymous]Hahaha, would love to know the school.

If it is any consolation, initially I did not like my child's PreK teacher - she also could not look us in the eye at the first P/T conference.  But it all turned out fabulously, and we even became slightly friends outside of school, and she was fabulous with the kids.  She was just nervous as all get out with us.  But early on in the year, we had to keep reminding ourselves that skills that work well in a professional office setting are not ones that work well with kids, and vice versa.  So I'd rather have her be great with kids and not as great with parents.

THe next year, child had a cold, hard teacher who was very, very strict.  It was a hard adjustment, but eventually it did work out ok for our child.  Since I had gotten to know other teachers in the school, I kind of asked around for what other teachers thought and they praised my child's teacher to the high heavens for having such a quiet, well-mannered class.  But I will say it did not work out well for some other kids, who needed more nurturing.

So don't despair just yet.  Keep your eyes and ears open, check in with other parents, volunteer as much as you possibly can.  It may be better than it looks right now.  It may not be, I don't want to be naive, but it just might work out in the end.  [/quote]
