Okay, thank you very much for that. smile All the other comments are giving me good perspective.

I'm leaning toward letting my husband go alone. The conferences will be kind of meaningless for me in that I know my son's strengths and weaknesses and don't have anything in particular to discuss that I feel can be addressed in a brief meeting.

I know that this teacher and my husband both want to help DS, the problem is that the waves of their concern interfere constructively and the result is that they GET INCREASINGLY WOUND UP!! And suddenly a discussion about long division is a red alert situation. It's a mess and I'm increasingly thinking I'd rather skip it and save my energy for the important meeting on Wednesday. This teacher (definitely) and my husband (possibly to probably) will also be attending).
