High School Conferences

CJ and I attended Zach's conferences last night. Wow, what a change! In elementary and middle school, you actually go sit in the classroom and have a 15-20 minute discussion with your child's teacher about how they are doing in the class, what is expected of them, etc. Once they get into high school, you just get a copy of your child's schedule and then you go into the gym. All the high school teachers are sitting in there (in alphabetical order!) for you to walk up and have a brief "session" with them!!! (Not sure if I would like this "setup" if our child's was having some problems in school, but then I guess you could call and make a separate appointment to meet with the teacher or guidance counselor.) We thought we would just start at the beginning and go in alphabetical order, but we ended up jumping around because some teachers were available while some had long lines. It took us a little over an hour to see all six of Zach's teachers. Zach's grades on his midterm report card were three A's and three B's, so we weren't too worried about what the teachers would say! All six of them did they that they really liked having him in their class! I just hope that he keeps up the great work!!!
