Yes! Three more good parent/teacher conferences followed.

I might even call them better than good. They were productive, respectful, and nice. Nice parents who respect the teacher - oh, yeah!  Quite a treasure for me! 

I'm not saying parents can't disagree with me or question me.  I'm just saying that I would like them to do it nicely!  What's wrong with that? 

This year, I had parents come in with concerns.  They expressed them in a pleasant, peaceful manner.  I explained my perception of the issues.  They gave me more feedback.  We made plans for more success in the future. 

Perfect!  Exactly what a P/T conference should be.  Everyone's needs are met. 

And no one walks away angry (or runs away crying!)

I would have posted last night, but I fell asleep at an embarrassingly early hour.
