it's parent's evening this week and I'll be honest, I'm wondering what the point is
NOT A TEACHER BASHING THREAD -I know they put a lot of time and effort into parent's evening and it eats into their family time and makes it a long day for them
I appreciate that I'm lucky in that my children do well and are happy so parent's evening tends to go along the lines of...
'lovely child' blah blah blah 'participates in class' blah blah blah 'keep doing what you are doing at home' blah blah blah
they never run to time, the teachers end up having a really long day and are shattered by the end of it and if you do have an issue, the time slots allowed are not long enough to have a proper discussion
would it not make more sense for parent's evenings to be for the parents that feel they need to go?
I do go but partly it's because I feel obliged to go
I'm a working parent so appreciate the teachers being available later so I can talk to them if I need to but is a mass parent's evening the way to do it?
if I have an issue then I will discuss it at the time (note to school asking for a phone conversation with the teacher when it's convienient and giving a list of times I'm available)
do the parent's that aren't interested in their children's education come anyway?
