Bringing it up to the teacher might put the teacher in an awkward spot. Bringing it up to the parent might even be more of an issue.

I don't know exactly how the classroom is set up, but I'm wondering if you can take an indirect route. Invite her child and your child to do a work together with you. Let them decide what it is. The mother will probably see what she's missing out on and want to join in. If not, it is her loss.

As far as people suggesting seeing if the school requires a certain amount of time to actually interact with the child, I wouldn't do that either. These things only work for the parent if they WANT to spend the time there...not if they HAVE to.

I don't have experience in this type of school. So my feeling may change if someone that does have this type of experience says something different. But that's my 2 cents.
