Thank you both so much! I truly appreciate the advice. I really haven't found anyone that I can talk to about this without coming across like an elitist or a pushy mom. I volunteer at the school every month so I will probably mention it casually to the teacher the next time I am in there. And, unfortunately, our teacher is not very enlightened - at least as far as I can tell. Again - thanks so much for the replies! I feel very much at home here already =)
