Parent/Teacher Conferences

Well, its that time of year where we get to go to school and find out how our children behave behind our backs. Kalebs is tonight and the other two will be on Thursday night. I'm not too concerned about Kaleb's he is talkative, but he makes up for that with being book smart. Well, come to think of it all of my kids are talkative. Hopefully this one will go down smooth, as I hate going in there and learning how disruptive they are. (Hannah had a rough k-garden year. ) In middle school, which is for the 5th and 6th graders, they have student lead conferences. Yep thats right they get to go with us to tell us of all the great things they are doing. They are also there if the teacher talks about bad behavior. The part I don't agree with is that if they are behind or not doing socially well the kids will also be there for that too. I dont have a social problem with any of my kids, and two of them don't struggle to learn, but one of mine struggles with speech, and with that goes reading. He is in speech and getting tutoring, but I wouldn't want him to have to hear from his teacher and his Mom that he is behind also. Of course, he is only in the first grade so he has a long time before this day comes for him, but I cant help but wonder about the other kids. Well, I guess that is my gripe for the day. Maybe later I will get on here and tell you good things...if not see you tomorrow:)
