[quote=Anonymous]Ok so my kid is in a mediocre rated school (4-5) which is also title 1. I mention this to say that u fortunately many parents don't care/are not involved in their kids education, but there is a smallish group of parents who do and potentially could be drivers of change.
So far I saw no big issues (granted,it was only K). However, his teacher was young and she started going through some personal issues mid year and started slacking a lot- kids were shown tons of Disney movies (as opposed to educational videos on the as needed basis), allowed non educational games on classroom tablets for their "free choice time" and such. She also brought tons of sweets in class for no apparent reason (no occasion). 
Now that I am aware that this may even be an issue in public school, how do I delicately broach the subject with my son's 1st grade teacher? I do not want to offend her and do not want to look like "that mom", but would like to let her know that I am strongly in favor of capping screen time and sweets in classroom. So far I was thinking of asking about her stance on these issues and then go from there.
I am also willing to volunteer in class - this is to say that I don't intend to be a PITA but am willing to work with the teacher to ensure my kid gets the best education possible.
So, how do I convey the message that I will be watching closely without appearing a PITA? 
Thanks.[/quote]
