Raddy- I hope you can find some receptive teachers! My DS has certainly had a mixed bag. Overall, I sadly believe lots of people fall into elementary school- they don't necessarily choose it. So they become elementary teachers because they like kids, not because they are inspired teachers. My DS had an amazing teacher last year... the year before? Dreadful... like the teachers in Matilda!
Because I have the opportunity to see it from both sides daily, I know that teachers are immediately defensive when parents present things to them. If you can remove the emotion and go with just plain data, you'll have better luck every time.
Not that I remember to do it myself though! I have a tendency to wait too long, until I'm already mad then it's hard to dial it back and have a quality discussion.
