Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. One reason is because parents shouldn't have to be present at a conference because there are other ways of TRANSFERRING information about their child. Using emails is a good RESOURCE of contacting the parent about their child's behavior and grades. If the child does not SEEK help from the parent then they can always go to their teacher for assistance. It can be very difficult for parents to take time out of their work schedule to attend a conference for their child. It is very important for children to get a good education, but it can be very hard for parents to always be apart of their kid's education. Jail time is unnecessary for parents as long as the child is being cared for.
