On Oct. 24, Brother Rice hosted its annual parent-teacher conferences. These meetings are a valuable way for parents to meet their sons’ teachers. Even more importantly, the conferences bring out the truth about how their son acts in school.
“Parent-teacher conferences give me a great opportunity to tell parents the bad things students do in class,” joked Mr. Matt Muth.
For some students, it’s far too late to change their classroom behavior. After more than two months of goofing off in class, there’s no turning back. Many have to form a game plan in the days leading up to the conference.
“I told my mom that there’s no need to go this year, but I have a feeling she’s suspicious now,” said senior Sean Hannon.
In all seriousness, parent-teacher conferences are important because they help parents and teachers work together to support students. The meeting gives teachers a chance to talk about what the student does well and where he can improve. The end goal of the conference is to help each student succeed and grow.
“I really hope my teachers put in a good word for me,” said sophomore Quinn Muldoon. “I don’t want to be grounded for Halloween!”
