ask your child
those are just some common reasons kids have given me for not wanting their parents and teacher to connect, but maybe there is something else going on. talk to your child about their concerns — listen with an ear to finding out their feelings and perceptions. if they are not the talkative type, you could suggest some of the reasons above and see if they agree.
tips for talking with a teacher
if there is a matter that you would like to discuss, it’s a good idea to request a meeting at a mutually convenient time for the student, parent and teacher, instead of trapping a teacher at the classroom door during pick-up time to ask questions. this respects the teacher’s time, but also ensures the conversation remains private and not in earshot of other parents and students.
