[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you have a conference in October?[/quote]

Yes. They shared the assessment grades - no areas of concern. But when I asked regular parent questions: what do they like at school? how are they doing? who are their friends? anything you would like us to work on at home? -- lots of blinking, blank stares, went back to they tested fine, no concerns.

So, I tried to fill them in .... here are some things you may not know about Suzie. Here the things Suzie has a hard time with at home that she is working on. I left feeling like Suzie is testing fine, she does not give the teacher trouble in class, so nothing to see here. Not terrible, but also not ideal. [/quote]

Hmm, that doesn't sound normal. Usually the first conference is all about getting to know your kid (we've been in APS for 10 years with multiple children). 
I'd be interested to know who the teacher is. There's one K teacher at Cardinal who had a terrible reputation at their previous school in another grade. She actually told a sub how much she disliked her class and often was overwhelmed by the kids. I could picture this person just sticking to assessment data and not connecting with the kids.[/quote]
