appreciative

Hi
Please tell me if this is OK.

"I must be appreciative of the fact that you take this much interest to help your child."
  

Top answer

Why "must" you? Why is it surprising someone should take an interest in helping their own child? Why are you appreciating the efforts by someone else to help their own child?

Thank you for your comments.

This is said by the teacher to a parent who says she is willing to work alongside the teacher to help his child improve his performance.

Now, please tell if that statement is OK in the context.

I really appreciate that you want to work with me to help Johnny.

The reason I asked all those questions is becuase your original is very unnatural.
