There is the rub!It actually isn't the job of a teacher of 2 year olds to answer questions. I think the placement is the fault, not the teacher here. She has a reasonable expectation that the kids in her room will act like normal 2 year olds. You kid is not only 3, but hardly a 'normal' 3 year old, as compared to usual normal 3 year olds.

I was talking with a friend who is a middle school teacher about how I always try to answer DS 4.5's endless questions and he said its actually the key thing to do and the root of so many other problems because what happens after parents, other adults or teachers of young kids tell a kid they ask too many questions - they stop asking - and then you end up with kids who passively accept only spoon-fed information, and aren't interested in discovery or learning!

Ours DCs may ask A LOT of questions and do it fairly intensely ;)- but all preschoolers IMO - even normal 3s - should be asking and the teacher should be answering them!!
