My lass likes these ones cos the timer has a hard cutoff at 10 minutes and if flips to the next parent's. So you don't have to deal with the parents who want a full half hour debrief on their kid, knowing full well that there are another 30 in the class to get through. 

 

I think they're better for this reason actually, especially at secondary school where you have 10 subjects to navigate. You just flip from one to another. 5 minute slots though not 10 minutes, that would be ridiculous. Ours were in person this year though which was like speed dating. * 

 

* I wish, especially given how fit some of these teachers were.

That's grand for subject specific meetings, but 10 minutes to cover everything from maths to overall behaviour? It's not long enough. Especially in his first real year of school. 

 

I understand the time pressure teachers are under, and 5 minutes x 30 kids x 4 classes per year; it's a lot. Buuuuut I don't care about anyone else's kids, I want a full run down on my special little angel, ok?

Exactly, it's his first year of school. Nothing really matters. You need to know that he's got mates, he doesn't have behavioural issues, and he isn't fucking anything up. That's it.

You (@The Fish) sound like a male Karen. I think I'll just call you Kevin.

"Ten minutes? I'm sorry I have alphabetised bullet points to discuss and we're barely out of the Bs. Let's move on to Bravado, a characteristic particularly close to hy heart. How would you say he's faring there?"

I'm clearly, CLEARLY, posting with tongue in cheek. 

 

Even if we spent an hour discussing the finer points of his phonics work, I'd still want more because I'm a modern, engaged, excellent father.

 

Not like you checked out deadbeats.

Sounds like something the birds do whilst us men are spending our wages down the labour club.

I'm astounded that you, of all people, would pass up an opportunity to check out* the newly qualified teachers.

If you think PT meetings are a pain in the arse then spare a thought for me. I was doorstepped by the Chair of the Board of Governors who asked me to join the board and for the life of me could not think of a single excuse to say no. It's a fucking four year term. No idea if there's any time off for good behaviour.

 

At the first meeting it became very clear I was recruited because they think I'm an accountant.

Your single excuse was "I don't want to", but "I genuinely don't have time" would also have worked. He knows those pigs aren't gonna farm themselves.

If I remember from the last one I went to, French teacher, English teacher and one of the Science teachers were all bankable.

Tell that to all of the women who loved a bit of sausage until you turned up with a flip pad full of home made pie charts.

Speaking of pie charts…

 

Here’s a bar graph of my progress painting the side garage door.

The only pie chart I like,  is the one that charts the number of hairy pies I've eaten.

Just turn up pissed, dishevelled, possibly with some excrement involvement, and get lairy about the younger teaching staff or possibly even the older students.

 

Oh wait, that won't work, you live in Ireland. Apologies, just do your time.

This is not actually my garage door, nor did I have owt to do with the painting of it.
