The problem i see is that if you can't be at school muyou ch as you work and the kids go to afterschool care then you need to be able to talk to the teacher during the meetings. If you are at school often enough to not need to talk to the teacher then you have probably seen the work. Parent teacher interveiws are the only time we get told about test results etc so although they are supposed to be tgree way i leave the kids outside.
