[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally have done the conferences, at least for the core academic subjects.  Our school has a day and a half off of classes for these to take place and each conference is limited to 10 minutes, the last few years they have been by Zoom. I value putting a face to a name, hearing about what is going well and what could be improved (even the kid "doing well" generally has area where they can grow) so that I can support that at home.[/quote]

I understand, but as one of those content teachers, I couldn’t finish all of the meetings in my allotted amount of time and spent ours in the evening doing them. I teach an AP math class so the majority of parents signed up. I smiled and said it was nice meeting them but it was a complete waste of my time when they only wanted to hear how great their child with the A average is doing.  Even if only 90 parents sign up, which is not uncommon in some schools for some parents, that’s 15 hours. We need to take a couple of breaks in the day so 1.5 days isn’t enough.   That’s assuming everyone logs in on time, no one missed and wants to reschedule. [/quote]
