| What are the hours for your school? Why do they vary so widely? |
I hate parent teacher conferences. I just hate them. I feel like I waste my time or it’s a meeting to schedule another, longer meeting later. |
| Whenever the teacher can schedule them within a two week period. So there are usually a few slots before school and a few slots after school daily for a week or two. |
Uh, ok. |
| My daughter’s high school is 12-7. Elementary is regular school hours which makes sense. I likely won’t attend my daughter’s because I’ll be at work. Email works fine too. |
| My ES is 12-7. Those are the hours DCPS set (I am a teacher, these were the hours we were told.) |
| All day on 11/11, when kids and many parents are off. Otherwise by request when convenient for both parties. |
What parents are off 11/11? It’s not a holiday. |
Veteran's day. It's a federal holiday. Not all parents, but many. Husband and I are off. |
To say that "many" are off is a stretch. If you work for the government, sure. But most do not. Our elementary school is 12-7. |
| We had ours on Saturday. 85 percent of families participated. |
What school has them on 11/11? |
| I think you mean 10/11. |
Every employer I've had in the last 15 years has followed the government for paid holidays. So not everyone, but more than government employees. |
Awesome comment! You must have lots of friends. |
