Do you not talk to your child's teacher or is the teacher completely unreachable? [/quote]

[b]Teachers always say the student is on grade level. Seriously, there are tons of threads on here about people trying to get teachers to give them more feedback and it’s always the same “grade level” non-answers. Unless your kid is behind or has SN you’re not going to get real feedback from their teacher.[/b][/quote]

Not my experience at all. My kids teachers have sent home a sheet for Reading and another one for Math. Each sheet explains what my child is doing well in, where there's room for improvement, and a suggested plan on how to improve.

Which school? which grade? how frequently is this communicated to you? [/quote]

1st and 4th grade. Strawberry Knoll. Received it once this year for my 1st grader, twice for my 4th grader. Seriously, I don't really need these evaluation sheets as there's nothing that I can't find out through emails. I'm actually floored that parents are finding this information difficult to obtain.

[b] :lol: Love how naive ES parents are.  Please tell me that you are Asian or White, so that I can sleep better[/b]. [/quote]

don't be a jerk. we are ALL concerned parents. why pick on asian/white parents? go f-yourself[/quote]

What does the color of my skin or ethnicity have anything to do with this? Trust me, I am far from being naive. Just a parent that knows that this is a 2 way street. You can't expect the school to spoon feed everything to you. You need to have those open lines of communication with the teacher and if you're not getting it, then go talk to the principal and demand it. Really this is not rocket science. I find it very difficult to believe that a school will give you zero or useless feedback when you're asking for input about your child. [/quote]
