one tip for the parent-teacher meeting, based purely on a horrible personal experience...
they're likely going to focus on social adjustment at this first meeting. if you want to talk about academic concerns (and it sounds like that's appropriate!), you may need to couch it in the feelings your kid is reporting around not learning anything. the teacher may be less likely to instantly label you as a pushy/rushy parent (not that you are!) and actually focus on the problems at hand.
all the best!
This is a good point. DD's weak area is fine motor skills. She has a hard time with things like cutting with scissors and zipping up her coat. The teacher has mentioned it to me once. She will probably make it one of her main talking points at the meeting.
