Well, parent-teacher conferences are over and I've made it through my first set of (hopefully) many of these. Now to finish up report cards and write comments on them. I thought I was done working both weekend days, but here I am on a Saturday evening with more work to be done that I'm saving for tomorrow morning. Ah, the life of a teacher... working 70 hours a week on things that take 120 hours to finish. Which reminds me... I still need to outline my schedule for next week and plan out my lessons.
This brings me to my next thought... why do we have conferences AND report card comments? I guess we need to record that we are informing parents what their child excels in and what they need to work on, but I find myself writing much of the same things on the report card that I just spent the last 4 days talking to parents about. I love this job, but there are parts of it I could do without.
