[quote=Anonymous]There are probably several teachers like that in the system but I think I know the teacher OP refers to. And I think it's a misunderstanding. I don't think she doesn't like to deal with parents. She just doesn't need them and feels like whatever it is you may want to "help" really effectively is creating additional distractions for her from teaching. She wants to devote her time to the 25 or so students and not their parents. If there is a problem, she'll let you know. I know so from experience. And if you feel something is needed, then just get it done without distracting her. I was in that classroom as a parent multiple times and it's one of the best organized classrooms I've ever seen. No lull moments for the students. Truly a teacher who has her attention focused 100% at all times on the students. If you want to be in that classroom for some reason, just go in, say "good morning Ms. X, I'm here to help if you like. Is there something I can do for you, photocopies, pick up your mail, sort something out, file something, look something up?". And if you'd like to discuss your child's progress, make an appointment. She won't speak off the cuff because she wants to be organized in speaking with you. She will come to the meeting with you with data and reports in hand and will make your and her time count. Sincerely one of the best teachers my child has had.[/quote]
