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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Gemmill 46022 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 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. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46022 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
