Our school allots 15 minutes, and the teacher isn't even there for all of it.  It's "student led".  You would have to try to cram a real conversation into a couple of minutes at the end and hope that the other two sets of parents in the room didn't want to do the same thing.[/quote]

Silly amateurs.  You ask for the last conference of the day for this reason.  I've always asked for the last conference.  I won't take more than 25 mins or so if it is needed.  And if we need to meet again, we can do that.  Just because they schedule them in 15 min blocks doesn't mean you can only ever meet on this day for this amount of time.[/quote]

None of us are amateurs.  We all know we can schedule a conference any time if there is a need.  That said, when interacting with the teacher it is important to respect their time, schedule, etc. - in this case a 15 minute meeting.  It should also be important for teachers to respect the parent's time - in this case have an adults only meeting where adults can speak honestly and openly.[/quote]

So the OP just needs to schedule a meeting after school on a different date.  You do not have to go on the conference day.  You know if you do that you will only get 15 mins.  Pick another day that works with the teacher.[/quote]

I kind of do have to go, not for my sake but for my child's so that my child can hear what the teacher wants him to hear.  And I'd like to hear what the teacher tells my child too.  [/quote]
