Last night was parent/teacher conference at the Junior High. They used to have all the teachers take up seats in the cafeteria and commons area so that parents could see which lines were shorter and make informed decisions about which line to stand in for the most productive use of their time. I liked it that way. Apparently, someone didn't. Now, all the teachers are in their classrooms and parents have to slog around the whole building, standing in long lines, wondering if there is some teacher they need to see just sitting there with no line! You don't dare leave the line you are in to find out, though.
With 2 students at the school, I had 18 teachers to see. I didn't see about 5 of them. I did spend 3 hours and 45 min. trying to see the others, though.
I have to say, my kids do have some wonderful teachers! Helena's orchestra teacher understands that ballet is Helena's first priority and excuses her from orchestra performances that conflict with ballet performances (this happens shockingly frequently). Mrs. Smith (the teacher) is just glad Helena is such a hard worker and loves to have her in the class. I think between the 2 of us we can convince Helena to continue with the orchestra for another year.
Will's English teacher is fantastic! She is the most plugged in teacher I have ever known. The level of communication coming out of that classroom is phenomenal! She even has Will writing! He showed me the start of a story he is making up; and if you know Will at all, you will know what a miracle that is!
