[quote=Anonymous]I've had the same experience. The teachers have rarely given me enough info in conferences. They always pull out the report card and focus there because I suppose grades are what most parents care about. Not me.

Is my child engaged? Are they slower to pick up material than the typical child? Does my child seem happy, stressed, confident, worried, etc? Is he or she a good friend or prone to drama? Are they a good citizen? Do they think outside the box? Are they creative? Do they participate?

As far as academics, they only tell me my child meets benchmarks or is on grade level, whether my child seems to be struggling mightily or appears to me to be cruising along. I've never been told my child is in the lowest groups for math or reading directly, but I have deduced it. Even when I have asked directly I was told the groups are fluid. This is important information to have because maybe it means a tutor would be helpful. Just this week I discovered my child is below grade level in a subject. I met with the teacher last week and the teacher said DC was doing well. [/quote]
