Parent teacher conferences are traditionally held at this time of year, but this Covid year many of those conferences will be postponed or held via telephone, Zoom, or Google Meets. The parents of the high achieving kids always show up eager to discuss their child’s progress, but the parents that you would really like to meet to give you some insight into their children’s behavior are sometimes reluctant to show up. My hat goes off to all of the teachers out there conferencing with parents about their most prized possessions--their children, which is especially important in these crazy Covid times when many households are quarantining or even experiencing positive Covid tests.
