[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who else got the Back to School Night Ruse from the teacher?

We got a lot of "busy" work in our classroom, leaving no time for questions, time to meet other parents, time to meet the teacher.

Well, played, Ms. Teacher![/quote]

Well . . . if you're a known entity, Mrs. Mouth, then she planned the evening with YOU in mind!

well played indeed - I applaud the teacher.[/quote]what is the meaning of this? can someone please explain?[/quote]

So you need an explanation FOR an explanation?

OK . . . It's the teacher's night to 1.  share his/her philosophy, 2. discuss the classroom atmosphere,  and 3. give an overview of the learning outcomes embedded in the curriculum framework.

Is that part clear? I'm just using some wait time and checking for understanding.

It is NOT your time to shine by throwing question after question at him/her.  It is NOT your time to socialize with parents. But most importantly - and this is where you seem to be unclear - it IS your time to meet the teacher by 1. listening to his/her philosophy, 2. becoming familiar with the classroom atmosphere, and 3. understanding what your child should know and be able to do by the end of the year/semester - and knowing what avenues a teacher will take when reteaching and enrichment are necessary.

Again, to reinforce an important matter - This short period of time is not FOR you to shine.  You need to shut your mouth and listen to the presentation  . . . b/c it's not about you.
