[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in ES.  I stopped going because it was a waste of time.  They'd jam all the parents of the grade in one classroom and present a generic powerpoint and that's it.  I go to the Open House before school starts to actually meet the teachers and have a conversation with them.  [/quote]

We are always on vacation during open house, so BTSN is our only chance to see the classroom.  It's an hour out of our lives, and I like seeing where my elementary schooler will be spending a good chunk of their waking hours over the next 9 months.

[b]Once you get to middle school, you don't have the occasional "class party" or whatever so BTSN is basically the only opportunity to meet your kid's teachers (put faces to names) [/b]and see the classrooms.  I imagine I'll be less interested when kid is in HS, but I enjoy it for now.  [/quote]

MCPS holds parent-teacher conferences in November. [/quote]
My kid’s middle school has slots available only for a quarter of the students and encourages that they be used primarily by parents whose kids are having problems in a class.  So you don’t have much of a chance to interact there in most cases.

Not that BTSN is particularly meaningful either-it’s just reading from a boilerplate speech for a few minutes, very limited time for questions. [/quote]
