[quote=Anonymous]I was really surprised by this, but middle school ended up being more important than elementary school. Elementary school had other chances to meet the teachers. In middle school, it was the only time to meet most of them, plus each teacher gave useful info about when to contact them (some said things like if your kid is doing more than 30 minutes of work for my class a night, I want to know). It honestly would not have occurred to me that a middle school teacher would ever want to hear from parents.

Others laid out project timelines, which was really helpful, like "they have a big paper in the spring, but they pick their topic in December before break and can get a head start using such and such guidelines." That was really helpful to learn because my kid plays a time consuming Spring sport, so I set a reminder in my calendar for December to ask my kid to make sure they got all the needed info from their teacher. A more organized kid might not have needed the nudge, but without back to school night I never would have known.[/quote]
