parents evening

[theguiltyone]

HI all I have just come back from parents evening and am not quite sure what went wrong!
My eldest son is 10yrs and I was told he acts like he is a teenger already!! Not quite sure on how to sort these kind of comments? What does anyone advise? : /

They need to be much more specific about the comments if parents' evening is going to be any use..
My teenager is responsible, manages his time, does his homework, has a part-time job and behaves politely to adults, and treats his friends with respect.
is that what they mean?
If not, what are they talking about?
What do they expect you to do?
What are they going to set as his targets?

I was thinking exactly the same as Goblinchild. My teenager is no trouble (at the moment). I presume they didn't mean that he's exceptionally mature. Did they not say anything meaningful?

Yes she said he is very confident but it comes across sometimes as arrogant and lippy! This is the best bit they went on a trip and she was surprised to see he only wore boxers to bed! She its like he is a teenager already! Also she said the things he comes out with! Very confused.

Is she saying he is confident but lacks good manners?
Interrupting, cheeky and inappropriate contributions?
go and aske her to be specific about her criticisms, see if she back peddles or if you get something more concrete to address.
What he wears in bed is irrelevant.

strange thing for them to complain about id expect it if he was maybe immature for his age not the other way around , even at 10 he could be going already through physical and mental changes and has started puberty but id leave it for now but ask for her to be even more in depth if she mentions it again for now , how was he accademically doing as this is whats more important for her to comment on not his nightware

Well she said his work is great which is good. They have just started the puberty lessons which he does fine it embrassing.I have explain and he really understands as we are an open family but he just said he doesnt want to keep going over it,he says they use props and models of the sexes! I did tell the teacher teach and she kind of said if the others can handle it then...... I suppose he can be silly at times and there is times and places for things and his work is great but I came out of there feeling battered yesterday! And to top it all off I have subject teachers to see tomorrow which i'm not lookung forward to. What we did together for my son to take in today was bullet points on a piece of paper to show his teacher he has acknowledge was she has said and will look at the bullet points when he feels he needs to remind himself of her comments.
