[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never. I'm not a helicopter parent by any means, but I want to know what DCs are good at, what they struggle with, and most importantly, I always ask how I can help support the teacher and what she is trying to accomplish at home. They seem to appreciate the question. Maybe it doesn't matter, but frankly I also want to be know as a parent who is involved and cares about her kids' education.

It may be luck of the draw, but I haven't ever been to a PT conference that was not informative. I also push the teachers a bit though to go beyond "she/he is doing well." They are always up to the task and get specific and give good feedback on what can be improved.[/quote]

This is my experience, too. The basic presentation is barely worthwhile, but follow-up questions yield useful insight. For one kid, my concerns are mostly social, so it's helpful to hear observations about the playground, for instance.[/quote]

Teacher's aren't even outside at recess, how would they be able to give feedback about playground situations?[/quote]
