[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am just curious about the context.  What was going on when you attempted to communicate with the teacher?

In my career as a teacher, there have been a handful of parents I have attempted to hold at arm's length, and it has always been because they have spoken abusively to me. [/quote]

OP here,  I have had no issue that has required attention, it is just the stay out mentality that is challenging.  I fully support the leave the teacher alone to do their job but I also shouldn't feel like I am being a burden if I am inquiring about how the classroom operates. This is not necessarily something I would learn at Back to School Night (when do they eat, when are centers, etc.) nor is this give my child special attention over the others for something specific (he/she doesn't like X and therefore I'm going to need accommodate with Y).  Rather an open communication environment where IF something needed a little extra attention (discipline management tools we can mirror at home or taking more time with math and what can we assist with at home), it was welcomed to bring it up.  Its the overall feeling lack of recognition that there is a team effort between all parties and an interest to build a basic relationship at best to foster things in a positive way. It also sucks that parents who have had her in the past and even other teachers say good luck with her, she's not changing and shuts everyone out.[/quote]
