30. Parent-Teacher Conferences
When parents send their children to school, often
don't know what happens day to day. Parents
on what their children tell them about how
are doing and what they are learning. Generally
will host parent-teacher conferences at least twice a
. Parent-teacher conferences are short meetings between parents and
children's teachers. Usually parent-teacher conferences are held when
give out a student's grades for the term.
parent-teacher conferences give teachers an opportunity to let
know how their child is doing. A teacher
let a parent know the student's strengths and
to the parent's attention any problems with grades
behavior. The meetings also offer parents the opportunity
ask questions and see what their child is
.
When it is almost time for parent-teacher conferences,
school will send parents a note and usually
them an appointment time. There are appointments during
day and in the evening. Evening appointments are
for parents who work during the day. Parent-teacher
do not last very long. Normally they do
last longer than 10 minutes. This is why
is important for parents to make sure they
at their appointments on time and come prepared
questions. If a parent needs more than 10
, he or she should try to schedule another
with the teacher. Keeping a teacher for more
10 minutes when there are parents waiting is
.
Most children do not go along with their
to the meetings. This allows both the parent
teacher to talk honestly about the child's progress
making the child feel bad. Usually a teacher
offer advice to the parent on how to
their child's education.
