I’m already known for being the squeaky wheel, but I feel like I have to talk to the administration about this.
We have our 6-year-old child in a Catholic school, and Catholic schools are the few schools open for in-person learning in our county. The year started with distance learning and without much notice opened for in-person learning, with an option to continue distance learning if desired. For a variety of reasons , we have continued distance learning for the past four weeks .
I truly appreciate the difficulty of teaching a hybrid class of half distance learning and half in-person, and I frequently tell her thank you for all of her hard work. But I’m reaching the end of my rope with the negativity and strictness of this teacher. I have spoken to several other parents, and they share my concerns.
In the case of younger children, this is especially critical. Your child is now developing an opinion and attitude toward school and learning. This opinion will likely persist moving forward, so it is critical that his experience is positive. It’s never fun to be the squeaky wheel, especially if you have squeaked before, but the difficulty and awkwardness of this moment will be far outweighed by the benefits to your child and the children in his class moving forward.
How long should I give this teacher to settle in before I talk to her about some possible enrichment learning for my daughter? This teacher typically teaches math, so I wonder if she’s just getting her feet wet with the ELA material. Or I wonder if she’s in the midst of assessing students’ abilities so that she can group them according to their needs? But another part of me worries that given the pandemic, this is just the best her elementary school can offer this year.
