There are dictionaries using bopomofo, like Zhongwen.com, and the Yuandong dictionary.
You can always learn hanyu pinyin later, it's not hard, especially if you already know bopomofo.
Also, bopomofo is a good system in its own right, not very widely used, but fine for learning.

Maybe you can suggest that the teacher learn the pinyin system instead of inventing his/her own
romanization scheme. Learning pinyin should be just as easy, if not easier, and it'd be easier for
you to follow, too. If you and your child continue with your Chinese studies after this teacher,
knowing pinyin would be far more useful, too.

Here are a couple of conversion tables between bopomofo and pinyin:

Lu & Gato,

Thank you for your replies. Thanks for the Zhuyin -> Pinyin table from Gato & Lu, I printed that
out, and I think the ones that the teacher put the Zhuyin I can just find the Pinyin and then go
from there. I was thinking about learning Zhuyin, but my time is limited (at least the minutes
that are not occupied by other things like work, house and a toddler :-).

I don't know that Zhongwen has bopomofo index, I'll look that up, too.

Thanks.
