[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the kid. If your kid is shy or sensitive and will just become upset or defensive upon hearing negative feedback, leave him at home - no use putting him through that trauma. But if he’s more resilient and needs a “kick in the pants” and will be able to handle hearing what the teacher says, bring him. Ultimately, students are responsible for their own education, good to get them involved early if they’re ready. [/quote] I'm one who takes my kids if the need a "kick in the pants". If all I'm going to hear is praise - I don't take them. But, even in those circumstances - the teachers always modulate the conference so it is motivating to the kid without making them feel entitled. And what is up with the tacky poster? How on earth is it tacky? Obviously a parent of still young children. [/quote]
