.... because I have just attended the second one at my ds school (year 8) and its so chaotic and disorientating.
About 80 teachers sat in avery badly lit,very hot sports hall with no privacy. There are 180 pupils in his year so you can imagine what its like. The acoustics also terrible.
We saw one teacher but I then felt quite ill and spaced out. (I often feel the same in supermarkets). One person queue jumped us too.
I feel so badly for my ds but its just so badly organised!
They did try to have an appts system but apparently some of the teachers wouldn't take appts.
We do receive regular written reports and next time will ask my exh to go instead.
Interested to see whether its par for the course in large comps to have parents evening like this.
I do care about my ds education. And possibly sound like a fragile little petal but after a day at work by that time I am done in and exhausted.
