Should I insist on a meeting or is this normal.
DD1 is summer born so did not start Reception 'til January (that is how it work in our area). The school had parents' evening in january but they did not give appointments to summer born Reception parents because our children had only been at school for three weeks.
I work Mon-Thurs so only do pick-up and drop-off on Fridays. At drop-off they line up in the playground then walk into the classroom themselves so the parents do not see the teacher. At pick-up the teacher lets them out one at a time once she spots their parents. Every week she fails to remember who I am and eventually DD1 sees me and runs out of her own accord. I have never been in the classroom.
The teacher does write comments in DD1's homework book and reading log but they are generic comments like "Great work" or "Brilliant reading".
DD1 is happy at school but tells me almost nothing about it. So basically I feel totally disconnected from her schooling. Is this unusual? Should I insist on a meeting even though I have no specific concerns about DD1? This is not what I thought my relationship with my childrens' school would be like.

DD1 is nearing the end of Reception and her teacher still does not recognise me and has never given me any feedback on DD1.
