I can't believe the teacher send an email after the meeting with a summary of the meeting.
While the content of the parent-teacher meeting was a waste of time, it was nice to see the two teachers (for 6A and 6B) work together and emphasis things like personal hygiene (of kids) and their sleep schedule. They tried to build a connection with the few parents who showed up.
The school is in a working class neighbourhood and most parents are immigrants so taking time off during the day isn't easy. That's why a lot are missing. The teachers got their work cut out making sure everyone's reading and writing skills are good enough for secondary school.
