Parent Teacher Interviews

We completed our first round of interviews. Does that ever sound like product! parents were asking questions about improving marks but seemed genuinely interested in how to improve marks. It seems like parents are interested in process if it will improve the product. Teachers also changed their process for interviews. The teachers called each individual family inviting them to the interviews. Our attendance more than doubled from last year! One teacher mentioned how they say across from a paret for the first time. The student is in grade 11. The teacher has taught over 28 years. Did it really only take a phone call to make this happen? This shows how we have to keep trying to involve parents and not give up when things don't work.
