I actually feel a little bad for them to always have that on their to-do list with everything else they do, but they don't seem to mind.

My kids are grown now. No more conferences for me. I never looked forward to them when my kids were young. But once there, I was always grateful for the information I gleaned from them. Some were more productive than others. But I always felt that they were a great way for me to stay connected to the teachers. Staying connected to the teachers = easier resolution to problems when/if they occur in the future.

Tell me about your kids' conferences! Have you guys had winter conferences? Are they coming up? Were they enlightening? Do you like conference time? Dread conference time? Are they child guided, do you like that?
Honestly, formal conferences are not my favorite thing to do, but they are better than it used to be! The kindergarten and the 4th grader led their own conferences this time. The 6th grade conferences are all in the gym, where you wander around and find all 7 of the teachers and talked to them for about 5 minutes a piece.
