The day every child dreads and every parent looks forward to. Parent-teacher meetings are important as they are an interface. Parents get to know different aspects of their child’s behaviour and also what happens in the classroom. Students can get tips on how to improve their work in various spheres and also how to score well in exams. Overall, I believe that parent teacher meetings are more helpful than not.

Parent-teacher meetings are very helpful. It gives an idea to parents about the techniques used in teaching. Parents explain their ward’s behaviour and attitude to the teacher so that teachers can concentrate on them more. It is also possible that these meetings will make student more comfortable with teachers and parents. These should be conducted every month to improve the student’s attitude towards teachers.

Parents’ involvement is the most important factor in a student’s success at school. Parent-teacher meeting is a time for parents and teachers to discuss a student in a constructive manner. A child’s overall personality, values and ethics should be the main topic to be discussed, not only the grades. It can be made more productive when faults are not discussed, but the ways in which we can improve is given importance.

Parent-teacher meetings are a 100 per cent effective and ideal way for parents to communicate with teachers so that they can make sure the child can reach his maximum potential in curricular and non-curricular activities. Parents and teachers go hand in hand to for the all round development of the student. Students become morally and socially responsible citizens of the future.

Progressive English School, Sharjah
Parent-teacher meetings are helpful as teachers get to take about children to their parents face-to-face. Parents come to know about their child’s performance in school and at teachers get an idea about the student’s schedule at home. It’s beneficial for the students, as well. And if in case students are weak in studies, parents can guide them.

Parent-teacher interactions are useful. It is beneficial to both parents and students. These meetings help parents know how their kids perform in class and what are their weak points are so as to help them improve in their academics or extracurricular. We students also find it beneficial as we can get some personal guidelines from teachers, as well.
