This isn't public. Does that change things? We had one last year.


Yes. You're paying for better customer service and that includes communication with the teacher

This is not odd. It is the teacher saying s/he doesn’t see a need. Obviously, if the parent feels differently, they can say, “well I’d like to meet to discuss [topic of interest].”

In this case, you did. So maybe go to the principal?

If you are truly concerned. Wish maybe you shouldn't be but you didn't ask that question.


Right. Maybe we shouldn't be. Was kind of hoping the teacher would tell us, you know?

Also, agree that at Publix there isn’t much they can do.


As a former Floridian, I had to read this a few times.

No, she hasn't said she's bored. Also, this is private. Not DC.

This was kind of my question! I think it means DD isn't being disruptive-bored, but who knows.

-My DD needs more.
-We don't have anything more.
-Ok, thanks anyway.


My next question as a parent would be what can I do at home to intellectually stimulate her to help keep her interested in learning?

Yes, clearly a sign that the teacher has nothing to offer you.

Would you push the issue? 5th grade DD seems ok but doesn't have a single grade under 99%, and we're wondering if she's bored.
