Our school didn't provide details on what to expect at the end-of-year Open House, except that the student projects the teacher assigned for the event would be on display. While our daughter is doing well academically, we've had a number of issues with the teacher and school this year (second grade), and haven't felt heard on these issues. Would Open House be an appropriate or inappropriate time to raise issues that affect not only our student but also others in the class and school?

Unfortunately, the parent-teacher conference earlier in the year was managed like an assembly-line: parents rushed in and out of their 15-20 min. sessions with the teacher without time for diving deeper into the issues (it was basically, "here's how your child is scoring on homework and tests, and how that compares against other students and how that positions the student for standardized testing). End-of-year Open House may be our last opportunity to address our concerns with the teacher and school. But is it the right forum, and if not, can you suggest another event or way to try again in having our concerns heard by this teacher, principal and school?
