[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only 15 slots that teachers offer for a total of 2.5 hours at my school, and most middle school teachers teach 30 kids in each of 4 classes, that's barely more than 10% of kids whose parents are getting to talk to their kid's middle school teacher.  That's a pretty poor ratio for parental communication, particularly in core subjects like English and math.[/quote]

Speak to the schools about offering more parent/teacher days. It isn’t the TEACHER offering so few spots; the problem is the school system only provides the teacher with that amount of time.

Like everything else about teaching, the teacher isn’t provided with the time required to get the job done. The expectation is always that the teacher gives up afternoons, nights, and weekends to do what the system won’t give the teacher time to do.

And if we don’t do it, somehow we aren’t supporting the “mission” or the “kids”, and we need to remember our “calling,” our “purpose,” and our “why.”[/quote]
