At my son's school (a 14-19 college) they allow the students to arrange with the individual teacher suitable appointments for parents night. Yes, we'll all raise our middle aged eyebrows at the wisdom of that idea.
So, I asked my son who I'm going to see and at what time.
And his reply...
"Oh, I didn't bother I thought you could just speak to them in the staffroom or something"
And my response...
"I haven't taught there since July"
I do actually live with my son.
Love from your

Ooops! Hehe. Sorry, made me chuckle. I'm not the only one with a teenage son living on another planet then. x

ReplyDeleteYes, the idea of entrusting those type of arrangements with the kids themselves is rather asking for trouble isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBTW - who's posting?

ReplyDeleteChic Mama - he is so in his own little world, I used to quip I had to check if he'd put his pants on in the morning but now he wears his jeans so low, everyone can see them!
ReplyDeleteDiney - oh he's massively entertaining, if you don't have to live with him!
I know that sometimes the teenage years and their traumas seem to last forever, but they don't, and I miss them.
