Yr 7 parents evening-'banned' seeing teacher!

DS2s first parents eve in secondary school is coming up. The science teacher has told half the class (including DS2) that they are doing OK, so he doesn't want to see their parents. Is this normal practice? As he is doing OK in all other subjects (except one & that teacher is ill) perhaps I should't bother to go along at all?? I was quite looking foreward to seeing what they say, especially being a new school.

Don't worry - he'll be getting at least 6 weeks' extra holiday a year to make up for it

If he's finishing at 7/7.30, it's not much worse than a day with prep duty.

I dislike the cattle markets that pass for Parents Evenings. It doesn't feel like a learning environment where Every Child Matters. It feels like a sausage factory. It really brings it home to you how unimportant you and your DC are.
