My mom is a retired elementary school teacher, and I heard this from her ALL the time!

Ours are done during school hours and I believe will all be virtual this year so it's not like the teacher can just leave. Even if it only lasts 5 minutes, I think it's always a good idea to just check in, especially in elementary where they are with the same teacher most of the day. Middle and high school may be different.

Given that my only other interaction with my kids' teachers is a two-minute hello at the open house, I can't imagine there isn't something to learn from a 10-minute meeting.
