Not only did it go wonderfully, but the mom brought me hot chocolate:
Score! It's nice to feel appreciated. It was a very positive conference. The student took responsibility for his actions and we talked about ways to help him improve. It was presented as a united front, she told him she was proud of him, and thanked me for my hard work with him.
I wish all my parent teacher conferences were like that: parents working with me, supporting their kids, appreciating my efforts, supporting education at home.
Most are like that...but there's a few hostile ones I dread.
Good thing parent-teacher conference day isn't until December!
