One More Story Like Parents:
DECATUR - Parent-teacher conferences are coming up soon.
Depending on the child and how the first quarter has gone, that realization might make the youngsters tremble with dread or puff up with pride. But often parents aren't much more thrilled with the idea.
The trick to a good meeting with your child's teacher is preparation.
"We have to be honest with one another, so that we keep the best interest of the child first," said Sandy Murray, a teacher at Holy Family School.
She can't know what's going on at home, good or bad, if the parents don't confide in her, and the parents won't know what's really going on at school if she doesn't talk to them. Teachers and parents have to work as a team to ensure a child gets the best education possible, and see that problems are addressed cooperatively.
It's not a war, with parents on one side and teacher on the other.
"There must be a working relationship between the school and home," said teacher Cinda Farris. "Since children learn differently, this gives the teacher and parent the opportunity to discover what is most successful in helping a student learn to his or her potential."
Teachers will have test scores and grades and behavior reports to discuss with parents, but the parents should have their own list of things to talk about.
"A parent should come prepared to ask how they can further help students in weak areas as well as how to enrich a student in their strong areas," said Nikki Manning, who teaches fourth grade at Argenta-Oreana Elementary School.
A parent may have a concern that the teacher is not aware is an issue, Manning said.
When a child has stresses at home - a sick grandparent, a parent's lost job, the loss of a pet, outside activities or hobbies that tire the child or distract him - the teacher needs to know.
"Communication between parents and teachers is very important," she said. "Teachers need to make every effort to make sure that a parent feels free to bring up concerns and questions any time of year."
Conferences don't allow much time, agreed Heather Reed, who also teaches at Argenta-Oreana.
"I let parents know from the beginning of the year how to reach me," Reed said. "I am willing to meet with parents when it's most convenient for them. Sometimes that means staying late and sometimes that means coming in early."
She gives parents the school number, her school and personal e-mail addresses, and sends home a weekly newsletter.
"You have to (be accessible)," she said. "That's the only way to have a successful school year, with the parents and teacher and student working together."
Debby Hawkins, a teacher at Illiopolis Elementary School, said parents should send a note ahead of time if they have questions that might require the teacher to do some research. Write down what you want to ask so you don't forget, and if both parents can't attend, take questions along from the absent parent, too.
During the conference, she said, listen to the teacher's point before criticizing, and keep emotions under control. Be open-minded to suggestions.
And consider things like whether your child has friends at school, and what you can do to help if your child is struggling academically or socially. If the child and teacher, or parent and teacher, don't get along, talk about ways to correct that.
Holy Family teacher Morgan Schrock said parents should stay in touch between conferences for best results.
"I always call (parents) with any concerns and encourage parents to stop in before and after school and ask questions," Schrock said.
