How to Talk to Your Childs Teacher and Not Seem Like a Jerk

The relationship between the parents and teachers is a delicate balance.  You both see 2 different versions of your child.  Sometimes they line up and some times they do not.  Communication is definitely the key.  I prefer email and I know that's an unpopular opinion but I feel like I come across aggressive more in my in person speaking than when I have an email conversation.  I wish I had done a lot of things differently when my kids were in school in regards to how active I had been in their education and also in their social lives and especially with the teachers.  I never realized the value in it for the kids until I started seeing more and more kids go through high school with my husband teacher.  I get it now for sure.  I see the value.  It keeps you involved but also it shows your child that you care.  Here are some great communications tips for talking to your childs teacher. https://www.scholastic.com/site/pam-allyn/5-easy-to-steps-to-great-communication-with-your-child-s-teacher.html
