So what are 'reasonable' questions to ask at parents evening?

[hookaduck]

What questions would you expect parents to ask.

When I'm asked 'do you have any more questions?' my mind goes blank and I look like a poor excuse of a parent.

The teacher has covered most of it though, what is left?!

Is there anything we can do at home to help support our child's learning? is always good.

White or red? is also a good question.

A reasonable question is anything you'd actually like the answer to really.

I generally have a lot to say at parents' evenings (as a teacher). I might well answer your questions before you ask them. It's OK not to have questions!

red or white!

what themumsnot said is the most important (first post - though obviously I mean second post really).
other questions - what do you think my child should do in the future? not for 7 year olds, or even 11 year olds. but once there are choices to make having those conversations with as many people who know your child as possible is worth doing. e.g. shoudl they choose this subject for GCSE/A level. do you have an impression of what sort of KS4/post 16 course would suit them?

When I ask a parent "Have you got any questions?", it generally means, "OK, I'm done. If you have nothing more to ask, leave, so I can get on with the rest of my appointments and go home".

I try to make sure I have covered everything by that point so rarely expect any other response but "No, thank you" [parent stands up and leaves]
