Poll: How'd your parent-teacher conference go?

Elementary and high school parent-teacher conferences are taking place this week. District 75 conferences are coming up next week.

Parents of younger students may find the system easier to navigate with just one teacher (and classroom) to visit, and enough time to actually look at their child's work and talk at some length to the teacher.

By high school it can be a different story. Although some schools actually invite you to sit in on classes during Open School Week, at most large high schools the conferences are limited to a scant three minutes (egg timer and all). Parents may feel they need to put on track shoes to navigate the stairways, get from one classroom to another, and actually sit down for very short "conferences."  In High School Hustle, Liz Willen thinks there must be a better way.

We'd like to know what you think. How did your parent-teacher conference go? Take our poll (on the right column) and let us know.
