I will be meeting my kids teachers next week, what could I ask the teacher. I always get nervous when I have to meet them, but I want to be prepared with some questions, they are both doing good in school, no serious problems. I have one in grade 1, and another in gr,4. What do teachers want to hear from parents.

I love that you get nervous! I get nervous when I have parent-teacher conferences, and I'm the teacher! :) If your children are doing fine, you might just ask about what areas they're weaker in so you can help them focus on those. Ask how they're doing socially. As far as what teachers "want to hear" from parents, there's no set thing. We like to see parents who take an active interest in their child's education, and we like to know that the parents are happy with the way the year is going. If you have any concerns, bring them up. If you don't, that's cool too. Good luck!

Here are a few pointers from a teacher (and I've been through a lot of these we have them EVERY quarter for some reason).
1) What do you look for when you grade papers?
2) How does my child behave in class?
3) What do you expect from the students?
4) How are you preparing my child/the students for the future?
5) If you see my child/children outside of the class how do they behave?
6) Have they shown an interest in anything?
7) How do they treat you? (being the teacher)
8) What is my child getting in here?
These questions are, of coarse, if you don't know the answers. I teach high school so the behavioral set-up is a little different but these questions should apply to all ages.

I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time with your husband. Don't worry though you are not alone their are others out there that go through similar or harder situations. We are all human beings that make mistakes. Things will get better as time goes by. I'm not sure what else I should say but I don't see how you made any mistakes here. You seem to be allot like me, working hard and educated. I wish you the best of luck with everything. I hope things will get better for you soon and don't forget try talking to your doctor about how you are feeling maybe they can tell you more solutions to your problems and help you get medicated if you have depression.

How is the interaction with other students in the class? Does my child speak up and answer questions? (kids can be very different in school as opposed to home) And the best question you can ask is....explain your grading system to me. Every teacher does it differently.

How can I help my child at home?
Never ask " Is she/he doing well in school?" if you already know the answer to that.
Good luck and just be nice and do not keep the teacher to busy for to long, be brief and go home......rather spend tiome with your children than with the teacher

Ask if there's anything more you (yourself) can do, to improve on your childs progress.
What are the areas, that need to be looked at to get the best out of your child, i.e. reading, writing, maths.
hope this helps...
