What to do?

ok, so i am in a tough spot. 
some of you might remember that at the beginning of the school year i voiced some concern about Cullans Teacher. At the advice of a couple different people I decided to give it sometime and see how the first quarter played out. I thought, I should give her the benefit of the doubt. Well now the first quarter is almost over and I am even more unhappy. I just don't know what to do. Having worked in schools, I know people say that children do not get singled out, but that is just not true. I have heard teachers talk if a child has a parent that complains or causes problems for the teacher. I know how it works. However, Cullan's teacher is just bugging me. There are two first grade classes in his school. The other first grade class gets a weekly letter to the parents saying what they are working on. They have a class website. The kids come home with reading, math and spelling homework. Our class has had zero parent teacher communication. Our kids don't ever come home with reading or math homework. In fact it was almost a month into school before we even got a spelling list. I am at a loss. I don't know what to do. There is no communication, even when emailed. It takes her usually up to a week to respond. I just don't want Cullan to suffer, educationally, because of a teacher that does not have her stuff together and does not seem to really enjoy children all that much.

I would be a bit concerned too. Can you go and sit in the class sometime and see how things are run? Maybe things at school are fine, but his teacher just isn't big into homework. Sam's teacher doesn't send home parent letters either, but his teacher last year did. He does have homework though.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
