Either the most dreaded or the most eager event to hit school. When PTCs come, do you go with your parents, do you even go? Or do you just look forward to the half days and seeing friends while your parents are chatting with teachers?

There are PTCs today and tomorrow for me, but I'm going for tomorrow.

Yea usually my teachers always have positive comments.

My parents have never gone to a parent teacher conference for me. I guess their mostly for negative things. Although we have an open house for all parents to come and see teachers and they exchange numbers and such if they didn't get one when you first went in to the class. Although my dad didn't go to open house which kind of upset my history teacher since he says I'm one of the few people he gets to meet that are like me and that know what their doing later in life and ready to do it all and I have a lot of respect for my teachers in which others don't...


Yea Suzzette my 5th grade teacher hated my guts because my mother chewed her out about something. I found it kind of funny watching it happen, and even more funny when my mother started subbing and would sub for the class next to hers so she could get on her nerves more.

Me too!

That was the only reason my mom would go. If there was a certain problem I was experiencing with a teacher she was all up on that. She'd be like, "Hmmm, oh really? She said that? Ok, watch how I put her in check tommorrow."

Lol, I always go. Unless the teachers doesnt' want me there

They always say good stuff about me, even if that means making it up.

I thought PTC's were only when a student had issues? Like misbehaiving, grades slipping, ect. Thankfully I've never had one of those.

Do you mean PTM? Parent Teacher Meetings? That's what they call them here. My school has one every nine weeks after the grading period ends. My parents havent been to one in over three years.

yeah mines was today and yesterday
i go with my mom all the time... well if she can make it
i have nothing to hide... so i don't mind

I haven't been to a PTC since I was in elementry.
At my school now, we can just take the report card & the parents have a choice of going or not.

We don't really have them at my school. I have an IEP meeting (since I'm a SPED) at the end of every school. It's where all my teachers get together in a conference room and comment about me.

i love them.
mainly because we have no school on the days we have PTC's, so yeah.

My parents don't go anymore. I do well enough in school, so they basically don't care
I LOVEE PTCs. My mom doesn't know about the half days, so I just hang out with friends for 4 hours. AND I get to help teachers and get service credit :D

Dang, asian parents would be like, "Oh she said that? Deal with it, I had worse when I was a kid, etcetcetc"

Actually, I never went to any of them. I never dreaded them, either...my teachers apparently never said anything "bad". Every time my parents would come home, I'd freak out and ask them what my teachers said, but my parents would just be like "Nothing really".

Man, our teachers are so lazy we don't even do parent teacher conferences anymore.

Instead we've got student led conferences.
We've got to set a up the time and date, what we're going to show and all of that.

I used to go to them, and enjoy the half days too. But that was in like, elementary school. We don't do them in HS or MS.
