Ask Margaret - When Your Parent-Teacher Conference Doesn't Go So Well
b"This week Margaret\\u2019s talking about parent-teacher conferences, after writing about her own most recent conferences on our social media. \\nAt one of the conferences, Margaret heard amazing things: her child is thriving, reading above grade-level, adored by all.\\xa0\\nBut she's also had conferences when she heard her kids were struggling, not sitting still, NOT performing at grade level.\\n(Amy has also had both kinds of parent-teacher conferences, by the way.)\\nSome kids are built for school, and they will thrive in that environment. Others will find it much harder. But your kid\\u2019s A-plus, or C-minus, is not your own. As a parent, you're in communication with the teacher as an advocate for your kids, but you\\u2019re not there to make sure your kid's school experience\\u2013 or life\\u2013 turns out perfectly.\\nIt's crucial to keep that in mind when we have parent-teacher conferences: we\\u2019re not there to find out whether WE passed the test.\\nLink to Margaret's thoughts here: https://twitter.com/WFHpodcast/status/1336079462941806592\\n\\n\\n* Leave us a rating or review in your favorite podcast app!\\n* Join us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/whatfreshhellcast\\n* Instagram: https://instagram.com/whatfreshhellcast\\n* YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WhatFreshHellPodcast\\n* Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/whatfreshhellcast\\n* Twitter: https://twitter.com/WFHpodcast\\n* questions and feedback: info@whatfreshhellpodcast.com \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
