[quote=Anonymous][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]

We brought our child to his parent teacher conference yesterday. He was very welcome by the school to be there. There were many kids. It doesn't make sense to find and pay for child care when it's just not necessary. You can certainly feel differently, and if you want to go the meeting alone, by all means do so, but really, why be so angry about it?[/quote]
