[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: actually the year has been going great so far, knock on wood. There is a couple of high level kids in the classroom and it makes for a nice peer group for my son. The teachers are great from what I see. Maybe my DS was placed there because they knew I would get along with the teacher :)

There is a lot of feedback from them, they like volunteering parents, and after some trying we finally arranged I would come in twice a week after dismissal while my child is still in aftercare (I can get off work early these two days) and do whatever is needed. I do copying, sorting, pencil sharpening, and recently have been promoted to grading some papers :) I also organize some stuff which does not require me physically present.
I am happy to do what I am asked and I think we get along with the teacher. I never ask to be in the classroom. 
What I get out of it is that the teacher sometimes does little extra things for DS like making sure his homework folder is not forgotten in class, or that he can take a quiz on a book from home if he doesn't find one he likes at the library. I never ask the teacher for it, but when I notice I thank her profusely. 
I am grateful she does what she can to help my child thrive. 
Note to self: unclench and mellow out, mama ;)

It's great to hear that you are off to a great start.  These things usually do work out if you learn to step back, relax....not always easy, but usually worth doing.[/quote]
