Parents’ evening

We had parents’ evening last week and it was just so awful. I’ve only had one unpleasant appointment before and that was ten years ago. I don’t know whether it’s just me but the parents were really unrealistic and demanding. If their child had a target grade of 7 and they are achieving that apparently for some parents that’s not good enough. They were so rude. Honestly, this job is hard enough without this. I can’t understand the problem with grade 7 anyway! Sorry, just needed to vent.

Not fair on you - you are just doing your job. Have any of the parents raised any complaints about your teaching?
