[quote=Anonymous] We had a change of teacher this term and I saw the moment of trust, when she shared something with me. It meant a lot. I was afraid the teacher had a bias, and was relieved that the the new teacher had courage and brought something up that Teacher 1 had been lying about. "Problem? What problem?" DC has always been a bit of a loner. I see how New Teacher acknowledges this. Teacher 1 claimed no knowledge and cultivated an atmosphere of exclusion. She'd point DC out as different, when he was perfectly comfortable being so. It transformed a situation of temperament into one of isolation. Meh. Nuance, perhaps. But, New Teacher letting go of the lie that nothings going on, that there was no dynamic at play, built a bond. So, OP, I'm chiming in to say how much I appreciate the interest you're demonstrating in building up that Parent/Teacher connection. Lies, on either side, aren't productive. I wouldn't be surprised if you are New Teacher. If so, thanks. [/quote]
