Not sure if I should be bothered or not?

Question

My 4 year old daughter is starting Kindergarten. The school didn’t even give us the opportunity to meet the teachers this year. Last year they did but not this year I’m sorry but buy all means I need to know WHO my daughter teacher will be and how she looks like it’s not fair for parents why couldn’t they use ZOOM like last time to meet them? They just expect us to drop them off and leave? It’s not fair and to top it off she’s a new teacher there I’m not sure if I’m overreacting or what but I’m not okay with that

Accepted Answer

Very rarely is a teacher who goes through various background checks going to hurt your kid. You're working yourself up and making yourself paranoid. If you want to meet them that badly, you should make an appointment. I'm sure they would be more than willing.

Answer

Over reacting. If you want to see her, make an appointment and go see her. Your daughter is going to interact with lots of people you won't get to personally meet. This is far from a terrible thing.

Answer

You are for sure overreacting. When you take your kid to school you will be walking the halls as every other parent is doing this morning.
You can meet them and stay maybe first 20 minutes. Literally every school year parents do this. Welcome to schoolhood.

Answer

They literally told you, “NO, you cannot meet your child’s teacher???”  I hate to cast doubt, but I can’t believe that.   I understand if they didn’t have a proper meet and greet or back to school night. But in that case, take it into your own hands.  I feel like you didn’t do everything you could have.   Sorry.

Answer

🙄 get over it.

Answer

Just ask the school if you can phone her or have meeting before school starts. Just to get know her. No big deal easily fixed.

Answer

I mean it’s normal in preschool/pre-into meet the teachers, but not so much once they start elementary school. At least it’s not normal for the school to initiate the meetings. However I’m sure if you asked to set up a meeting they’d be more than happy to

Answer

Definitely overreacting. What would you knowing what the teacher looks like accomplish? It’s not something I’d be bothered about as long as the teacher isn’t causing harm to any of the students. 
You can always email her introducing yourself.

Answer

I understand why you want to meet the teacher. But take it into your own hands and set up a meeting with her. Then you know what she looks like

Answer

I don’t think you’re overreacting. It’s important to meet the teacher, if only in Zoom, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer that. 
As a teacher myself, you cannot blindly trust people with your children. Meeting the teacher is the very least they could offer
