We had parents evening for DD (year 2) this week. Personally I'm surprised they occur so early in the term but this is presumably the school's choice. Her teacher is very nice and approachable. However I felt her assessment of DD was quite..vague. She spent most of the time showing me DD's exercise books, which was good to see, but didn't say much about DD specifically beyond "she's a lovely girl, likes to learn and plays nicely with everyone". Obviously this is nice to hear but it felt as if she could have been talking about any child. I didn't get the impression she was aware of DD's current level or progression in specific areas. The HOY was present and she interjected with a couple of comments that were specific to DD so I'm wondering if she felt it was all a bit generic as well.
I think I'm overthinking this and also comparing this teacher unfavourably to DD's Y1 teacher who was amazing and described her so well at the first parents evening I felt he really took the time to know her. Her Reception teacher was the same.
If there are any teachers around, would you say I am being unreasonable in expecting a bit 'more'?
