Meet Parents: Not that we should ignore the teacher's point of view in all this. It is not always an unmixed pleasure for teachers to have to meet parents in the evening, after a hard day's work, and show the requisite charm and interest. And teachers have their own anxieties as to what parents may have to say about their work, or about the way the school is tackling some issue.Teachers say:Td like to meet parents but I never seem to have the time to get to know them.'
Parents may be able to meet you only at unusual hours - one school suggests dropping in at 9.45 a.m. for a cup of coffee. The telephone should not be forgotten either, though this may be felt to be too invasive by some parents. Where parents cannot speak English, taking the trouble to find an interpreter can make all the difference.
3 At Christmas the children were given bags, in which they could carry books to and from home, inscribed with their names and the school reading logo. They are very proud of these. Parents think they are a marvellous idea. We do too!
They also have record cards which parents can choose to complete. Some parents and teachers find these unnecessary as they meet so often. In fact, one teacher said she felt really set up for the day by speaking with parents about the progress of 'homework' rather than by using these cards. Fair enough!
