I will be conducting parent teacher conferences in a couple of weeks and would like to know what kinds of questions you would like to have answered by a teacher about your child? Any good ideas that former teachers have done/discussed/said at parent teacher conferences?

As a teacher, I always try to say some very positive things about each child before I say anything negative. (Sometimes, honestly, it is difficult to find the positive -- but I try to remember that I, too, am a parent, and that I would want to know the good things that are happening with my child first... because I already know most of the negatives.)
If there have been little successes that have made a big change in behavior or academic achievement, concentrate on those things.
Even the most difficult child has a parent who loves him or her... or at least you hope so. Try to find the positives, and you will do fine.

Acceleration is a great idea. Remember the saying about "Idle hands are the work of the devil" This is especially true with gifted students. If we are bored we start to go on tangents that get the entire class in trouble. Maybe we love to ask the question "Why?" I was accelerated in Mathematics because I already knew most of what was being tested. Seventh grade was a review, but once I got into algebra, I had a challenge and got more of a challenge in geometry. So give them a challenge now and they will reap the benefits later.

When I had P/T conferences, in addition to my son's academic and social progress, I wanted to know what things I could do at home that would help him.
I always asked because I'm sure the teacher would have felt uncomfortable offering it. Most teachers were quite accomodating but I had his first grade teacher tell me "Oh, don't bother. You wouldn't know what you were doing!" (I counted the days till he went into 2nd grade.)

Well every parent of course wants to know how their child is performing academically. I also like being informed of my child's social interaction at school. Is he a loner, does he have many friends, is he athletic. As you know when a parent asks a child what he did at school today he says "nothing". When I ask how was school today he says "fine". Any extra information that a teacher can provide would be most appreciated by a parent.

I like to know if my son is performing to his ability in the teacher's opinion and a discussion regarding what can be done if not.

Stop teaching EVOLUTION. It's a horrible theory.
