[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, guys, please take the teacher compensation discussion to a different thread if you want to keep talking about it.  If we have one or more elementary school teachers here willing to give candid responses to our questions, I think we should keep this thread focused on that.[/quote]

OP here....
I'm still here and ready to give candid responses to questions!! Let me know.[/quote]

Thanks!

Is there any way to bring up wanting your kid to receive enrichment that is likely to be actually productive and helpful?  (Or should we assume that if they are not, it either means that either 1) the teacher wants to but can't due to other demands they're juggling; 2) the teacher doesn't think your kid needs enrichment and will likely be annoyed at you saying they do; or 3) the teacher doesn't really care about providing enrichment?  And that none of these things will likely be helped by hearing from you on it?)

If there is some potential benefit to the conversation, any suggestions on what to say and how?  Is this different for, say, kindergarten versus 2nd grade? Assume the kid is not a super-genius several years above grade-level, just an ordinary smart kid feeling bored and unchallenged by the regular curriculum.[/quote]
