We have just had a parents meeting with J's teachers and thankfully the report was pretty good. It is a rather odd set-up that most of the communication is to the child and you don't really feel that you can question what the teachers are doing without undermining their position so it perhaps ends up being a one way conversation from the teacher to the child with you listening.
Anyway, he is conscientiousness and happy and seems to work hard. His only problems seem to be getting some numbers backwards (apparently as a result of being left handed) and being something of a perfectionist which means that he takes quite a long time to finish his work.
All in all, I'm very proud of him.
Sounds as though it's set up to prevent questions - I'd ask for a meeting out of hours if you want to talk.
ReplyDeleteWell done J - vacated the cloakroom then?

Parents evenings are so the teachers can see if the child's problems are his parents and the parents can see if the child's problems are the teacher !
