[quote=Anonymous]As a middle school teacher, no one requests conferences when kids are doing well. I have 135 kids--while I wish I could find 5 minutes to talk to each family, the reality is that's 11.25, or two full work days, and we all know conferences never last 5 minutes. The only conferences I have are when kids are struggling. What I do often do for kids who are doing fine is respond to emails asking for a check in. "Hi, this is Johnny's mom. From my end it looks like everything is going smoothly in class--can you confirm what you are seeing on your end? Is he turning in work on time and paying attention during class? Is there anything we can encourage him to work on from at home?" That email can be fired off during my passing period or while kids are testing.[/quote]
