So, 15 parents met with me tonight. I have 130 students.
About half of those meetings consisted of me telling parents how amazing their children are (ie. 90s students. Driven. Motivated. Participators. The students who make me love my job...).
The other half of the meetings consisted of me telling parents their children need to apply themselves (ie. they're 70s students. Smart. Talented. Don't do any work. The students who frustrate me more than anything....).
No parents of failing students.
No parents of students who wreak havoc in the classroom.
No parents of students who are seriously struggling with reading and writing.
Although I LOVE telling parents that their children are amazing human beings (well-deserved compliments for them...), I need to talk to parents of failing students, students who are years behind, and students who disrupt class.
Hopefully tomorrow afternoon's conference will bring a few of those.
