[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not an educator, but I'm a mom who has kids ranging from 3 - middle school. What I've done (when warranted) in the past is use that conference time to gather information to supplement or refute the things on my list that aren't directly related to my child's progress, then follow up afterwards with the results of my list + what I learned in the conference. Sometimes I can come away from the conference with a different understanding or new information I hadn't had or considered before.[/quote]

I think this is a great strategy. Do not email and just go in and listen to what she has to say. You can ask questions when it is time, but don't try to make her defensive. After the meeting, gather the info and ask for another meeting to address your concerns if they are warranted.  The 15 minute meeting is really just a check-in. There is no time to discuss bigger issues. Plus, there is always someone at the door waiting which can make things awkward![/quote]
