This evening I am going to attend the first parental school meeting for my daughters class, she is in grade 1.
I believe the meeting is mostly a general orientation.
I fear it could be very boring so I am sure everyone would enjoy it if I have many questions to get a dialog going.
Here is where I need your help.
What would be good questions?
What question would make a teacher squirm?
Good can both mean good and "good".Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

But my daughter is a bright one - she recently told her mother (my wife ) that I was the most important member of the family as I was the one making the money so they could buy stuff. She is clearly cut out for contracting."Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."Comment

What the £$%^ do I know about schooling these days. I recently learnt that the are more tags than baby, girl and woman for a female. Evidently there is also toddler, preschooler and others that I have already forgotten.

In the UK, we tend to talk about "Year 1" or "1st Year". Grades refers to either marks gained in tests, exams, school report (you probably know these as "report cards"), or music examination levels.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostOh, I see. You're the yank.
In the UK, we tend to talk about "Year 1" or "1st Year". Grades refers to either marks gained in tests, exams, school report (you probably know these as "report cards"), or music examination levels.
but I agree that this thing of multiple names for the same thing is a pain in the behind.
So, she is 6 years old, whatever "year", "grade","level" or title there is associated with that is what they were talking about yesterday.
It is a school with the "international baccalaureate" program. Should prepare her well for later life."Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."Comment
