Alis girls Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Recent parents evening with YS year 7 (11 yrs old) made me think about what we dont say. 1 Design Technology - includes cooking. Teacher - L is very at home in the kitchen, unlike some of the kids he doesnt panic. Me - Yes well thats because he spends most of his time in mine - hes a human hyena - scavenging for food. 2 History Teacher - hes always alert and manages to stay awake (yes really!) Me - you mean you bore them so much they nod off 3 PE Teacher - hes doing great in rugby and we have no kit issues - always has full kit which someone obvioulsy sees too (looking at me and grinning) Me - yes thats cos muggins here works her socks off mate making sure its clean, mud free and ironed. All the comments from the teachers are true - mine were un- uttered. Its not easy being a teacher - but OH and I were amazed at the humour in some of the comments we got.

Goosey Lucy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It's even worse when they know that you're a teacher but you're sat there as a parent. Sounds as though you know your YS very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 My OD had her first parents evening before Christmas. She was 18 months old, and was with her Key Worker at nursery! Even then it was a "political minefield"! KW: She really emjoys her food Me: Eats like a flippin gannet - and you have told me before she steals other kids food off their plates KW: She is very good at communication Me: You mean she screams like a banshee when she doesn't get what she wants! 40mins this meeting lasted - I can't remember everything, but it was like walking a plank for the poor key worker! Did feel sorry for her... Although I found it quite amusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Teachers always said my ES was easily distracted and talked too much in class. OH said sardonically "wonder where he gets that from" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I went along to DS age 13 parents evening last night and was amused to be told by his maths teacher that he sits 35cm away from him at the front! I took it to mean he's well behaved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Only a maths teacher would know it was 35cm exactly away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very Confident" is the expression my friend hears when she goes to her twins' parent meetings!!! Boy, and they are !!!!(not always in a good way, either). Hard for the teachers, as she teaches at the same school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
