Help me?

So some of you have kids, right? Or are teachers? Or both?

What happens in those parent/teacher meetings? Because I'm writing a fic in which one takes place, and I've realized that, as I've only ever been the kid being discussed, I really have no idea what happens.

The kids are in Kindergarten, if it makes a difference.

Thaaaanks!

Nah, it's just a routine meeting. Actually, the point of the meeting is to get Tora and Guy Gardner to eventually end loving and such, but that's my purpose, not their's.

Je comprende. Nnngh, I think it's a good time to scrap this idea and find a different way to get them to meet.

Depends on what it's for. If it's just a standard meet up then the teacher will just give the parent a run down of what they do in class/how the kid is doing and answer any questions the parents might have. If it's for a specific problem then that and how to fix it will be the main topic.

How long do they normally last?

Just the routine ones, I mean. Not the specific problem ones.

Only about 10-15 minutes on average since if it's being done on a day set aside for conferences they'll have a lot of people to fit in.

ETA: Though they can be longer depending on the school's scheduling on them. Typically never more than 30 minutes though.

...new plan!

Thank you, though.

I've gotten the impression that the length also depends on how involved the parents are in the sprog's education- my folks always said that teachers were surprised that both of them came and both of them asked questions.

*nods* Makes sense.

I don't think I'm going to use the idea after all, but thank you.
