[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you expressed your concerns to the teacher directly? I’d do that.

But I’d say that the aid has veered into treating your kid unprofessionally and you’d like the teacher to please put a stop to it. Back it up with examples (the rolling of the eyes particularly) of your interactions.

Be polite yet firm. [/quote]

OP here. The teacher is frustratingly hard to pin down -- I cannot email her directly (all goes through aide) and the aide is the one outside during pick up. Teacher is older and not super tech-savvy.

I am also worried about saying stuff like "she rolls her eyes or is sarcastic when speaking to me" because that kind of thing feels very open to interpretation. I think she'll just deny it and say she didn't do it, or that I misunderstood.

Maybe speaking up will put her on notice, maybe it will make her dislike my kid even more.

Not trying to put up road blocks to your suggestions -- these are things I've thought of but I worry there may be negative consequences. I feel there is a lot of stigma with being the parent who complains, and I don't want to do it unless I have rock solid evidence. But what I have is my general impression and things my kid has told me. I feel confident there's a personality conflict there, but it's not like I have clear proof.

I'm wondering if there is something I can say to my kid to make it easier to get through the next month and a half. And I guess also wondering if there are things I should have done earlier in the year. It took me a while to figure out what was going on and also to stop being in denial about it, but I'd like to be proactive moving forward, especially if the ADHD thing causes problems in the future.[/quote]
