Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy How should I approach the MS music dept?

From my experience, there are many teachers who have high anxiety over any possible confrontation or even simply meeting a parent and many of them avoid contact if the exchange might in any manner be negative. I'm not saying that's necessarily the case here, however, please understand it's pretty normal among teachers. They're simply not trained in college in how to professionally handle parent interaction.
