Parent/teacher meetings are one of the most draining parts of teaching but can also be the most rewarding. I really enjoy the interaction with parents and, like you, I have definitely learnt some good examples of what not to do with my own children. They are draining because you want to share so many positive things but not be scared to have the difficult conversations when needed, it’s also non-stop talking and noting down all the points you need to take back. Wouldn’t have it any other way though!
