They don't want to bother the teacher.
They don't want to be on the teacher's negative list toward themselves or their child.
But yet their child is floundering.
So the biggest challenge is how do you approach a teacher?
And some teachers really get it, but their hands are tied.
because of budgetary or administrative concerns and others don't necessarily get it.
But the concern a lot of parents face is I don't want to be seen as pushy or elitist or thinking my child's so special or that I'm dismissive of the needs of kids who struggle.
I just need to have these special needs addressed in my child.
So parents, they struggle with that.
They want their child to fit in too.
So they're worried about bullying or other children seen as nerds or outliers, how to get them to fit in.
But a lot of times, again, the structured traditional classroom doesn't work.

You have parents all over Facebook or Instagram sharing what seems like kind of routine accomplishments, but good for their kids, right?
And good for them.
But we can't do that as easily because then we're perceived as elitist or snobby or tiger moms or not caring about other kids.
Like there's this stigma against sharing some of these accomplishments.
And some of them are really remarkable what some of these kids do.
So we're kind of stuck with that.
unless we can find our niche, our group of parents and people in the community who understand and get it and support it.
