It is always amazing to me that parents don't come to their child's scheduled conference. I have had several no-shows today and I have even called parents to talk to them and I don't even get to talk to them, I get to talk to the answering maching instead. I tell ya, it floors me. At the elementary level in our district, all students are out of school tomorrow all-day, and I'll still have several no-shows. It still floors me and I've been doing this ten years. Amazing...
I was blessed because in my family, the kids came first...ALWAYS. In fact, in our family if you got in trouble at school, it was worse at home. (No abuse, just high expectations) Today I am incredibly thankful for my parents for that. My parents were in the middle of stuff, making sure we were doing what needed to be done.
I just wish my students had what I had. I know, this is what I've said repeatedly before, but it's true.
Seriously...
