I don't mind helping you in the school, but don't get disappointed by something I didn't do if I had no idea you wanted me to do it. I've been taking care of your 2nd graders in a separate classroom, and you expect me to somehow magically know to give the 1st graders under your care some homework, when I have no idea of their progress. I can't know unless you tell me, and you're the only teacher that talks to me like I'm a child. I love you, but please -- help me help you.
