conferences

Conferences mean one thing to the teacher and one thing to the parent. Tonight I had the pleasure of hearing how kind my child is. We heard how she is a friend to all and a funny person. We know she is a great writer and very creative. Everyone who saw her said hello and looked genuinely interested to see her. Sure, I saw charts of test scores and data tracking. Sure I asked if there were concerns. What really counts is that our teacher sees our kid for who she is and is encouraging her to speak up, stand out, and not be so hard on herself. It is amazing to see her through someone else's eyes and to know that I am not just bias when I say my kid is awesome :)
