[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could this be anything other than a red flag?  It sounds like you think that the school is punishing your child for your attention to his education.[/quote

I don't think she's saying that - I think she's saying the school possibly intentionally put strong parents in that class with the hope they'd be able to make it work, whereas less committed parents might experience this teacher and decide to jump ship.  Strong parents can sort of do the work of connecting parents that the teacher refuses to do.

Our 'bad' teacher also actively worked against parents talking to each other or interacting.  Never once dealt with room parents, consistently discouraged any sort of parental interaction.  It took me a long time to realize other parents were pissed off and frustrated.  I just did my time, got in there as much as I could, and talked to as many other parents as I could, though I wish I had done more - initially I didn't want ot rock the boat, and wasn't sure what was appropriate.  It was long year, and in retrospect I wish I had made more of a fuss with the principal, but we managed to get through fairly successfully.

Hang in there OP.  Sounds like there might be enough work arounds in place to make this at the very least an OK year, if not a good year.  [/quote]
