How nervous are you before you go to a parents' evening?

[emkana]

Because I'm very nervous and very excited. My goodness, dd1 is only in reception, but I am really fidgety and can't wait till 5 o'clock. I soooooooo hope the teacher will have some nice things to say about dd1 - especially because I know that academically she is behind many of the other children in the class - apparently 50 % can already read and write (at least to some extent), which dd1 is still far from.

flipping heck 50%? my DD is like yours Emkana, still some way off that.

not at all - because they're dull and politically correct

at least they were at nursery level and I don't expect any difference now

Just me then.

As a teacher I used to get a little anxious - more about how I was to cram hundreds of interviews into tiny little ten minute slots over only three hours..
As a parent I am beginning to understand those parents who came in with a list!I have soo much I want to ask. The list thing always used to amuse me before, one mum even came in with a clipboard and wrote down each of my answers like a job interview .
My DD1 has her first parents evening next week and I can?t wait. Have made a list but will try to leave it at home and be nice to the teacher....

Very. DD's teacher looks about 12 and we had to sit on those little teeny tiny chairs to talk to her. She then suggested I teach DD to count beyond 10 to perhaps 20, so she doesn't really know DD at all as she can count way past that.
Emkana - my DDs are also in reception and are nowhere near reading or writing (apart from writing their name and copying things).
