[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it’s both tacky and unparental (it would be as unprofessional if the teacher brought her kid). Unless the teacher requested that I bring my child they don’t show up. The child can go to aftercare for a little bit while I conference. To bring your children with you is tacky. If you wouldn’t bring your children with you in the dental or doctor’s exam room why would you do this to a teacher? I also don’t want my child to her herself discussed from the teacher’s point of view. I believe children should be children and adults should be adults. There should be a clear line of demarcation. Suppose you or the teacher need to discuss private family matters, custody issues, social issues, etc. ? [/quote]

Not everyone has aftercare or a babysitter.  Yes, my child goes to my dental and medical exams if not in school.  A teacher is there for a job, its different from a parent.  I want my child to hear everything and I want to see how they interact to make sure it is a good fit.  [/quote]

You can’t afford a babysitter for half an hour? How do you afford kids?[/quote]

We do not regularly use babysitters so I am not leaving my kid with someone we do not know.   [/quote]

[b]Again, the schoo calendar is planned out a year in advance. Surely, you could have saved up some money to pay someone or paid the after school provider. This shows you probably shouldn’t be a parent or populating on earth when you cannot afford babysitting and you lack critical thinking skills. It’s amazing that you made it this far in life.[/b][/quote]
