Parents evening tonight?

Question

what questions should I be asking the teacher ?

my children are 6 & 7

Answer 1

That depends on your concerns.  How is he socially, is he on grade level with math. What does his homework look like? any questions you have should have developed from talking to your child and reviewing his papers over the course of the last few months.

Your questions should involve your children and if you have any concerns about their education.  General questions are not ideal.

Answer 3

To start with the teacher will ask the ? and tell you how they are in school then you can go farther and ask if their is any areas you could help them out with more, are they giving any problems at school, are they making friends ok at school and is there any issues that she thinks could be handled differently.
