....one of your child's key teachers said they couldn't attend parent's evening at all because it clashed with their own child's parents evening at another school?

I'd suggest to the school (rather than the individual teacher) that maybe they could plan the evenings alongside other local schools to not clash.

I wouldn't be cross with the teacher though, they've had to make a choice and might have very good reasons for wanting to attend their own child's parents evening.

I'd be fine about it. If I really needed to speak with that teacher I'd book a phone call or ask for a 10 min appt before/after school one day otherwise I'd just go by what the other teachers tell me on the night.

You could arrange to meet with them another time surely? I understand why they want to go to their own child's one....

I'd feel 'that's bad luck - hey ho'
