Academic Language Written Assessment Week 29- School Conferences

Parents should not be incarcerated if they miss school conferences. For example, the parents could have more relevent priorites to worry about, such as a job to pay bills. This shows that, the parent shouldn't be punished for their absence if they had a valid reason. This also shows that, the children are fully capable of going to the meeting themselves and TRANSPORTING the information without a gaurdian present if they know that their mom or dad is not available. In addition, the parent might be the only one bringing in food and supplies into the household. This shows that, this is even more of a disadvantage when it comes to making the meetings. This also shows that,teachers should be more understanding with their expectations because not everybody has the same home situation. Parents are always SEEKING a way to provide for their children and make sure they are doing their best in school. Also, teachers and parents have other RESOURCES in order to communicate with each other. In conclusion, parents should not be held accountable if and when they miss their student teacher conferences.
