[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 39397, member: 1967"] Linda, I'm sure that is the case for some parents but it really doesn't explain what happened in my situation. My school is in a very high socio-economic group and we held the parent conferences at night to make sure parents would be able to come talk with the teachers without missing work. I do think technology plays a part, though. With today's instant communication, parents feel more in touch without having to meet with the teachers. I know that I send electronic progress reports every Friday so parents always know how their child is doing. It is probably because of the area where I teach but I would say all but about 3 out of my approximately 150 students have parents with access to email. So most parents keep in touch with me that way. Still, I think it is important to meet with your child's teachers. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
