Well, tonight was Tyler's Parent Teacher Conference. Usually I get a little knot in my stomach. You see, Tyler is my son who normally 'talks too much', 'doesn't focus', and 'doesn't complete his work with enough attention to detail'. So, when I go to his conferences, it's always with a little bit of apprehension. His grades are always good, but his behavior usually needs a little tweeking.
Until tonight....his teacher said he wasn't talking too much, he was doing a great job of paying attention in class and participating, he was responsible with his homework assignments, he was doing great in the 6th grade reading contest and a joy to have in her class.
I almost cried right there sitting in my short plastic chair. I still am beside myself. I hugged Tyler at least 4 times before we got out of the school, I kissed him at least twice and I don't know how many times we all told him how great a job he is doing. Parent teacher conferences include the child at his school. I just couldn't be prouder of him!

Great news! As a teacher, I often focus on how nervous I am to sit in front of parents and rarely consider that the parents may be nervous as well.
Keep up the great work, Tyler!
YEAH!!!!
Great Job Tyler...

Goooo Tyler! He sounds like my clone...my conferences were always similar! ;)
that is wonderful!
Way to go Tyler.
I only wish I had tryed harder when I was in school.
I still regret it to this day.
(Guess it didn't help that I hated school.
Keep up the good work young man.
Great job Tyler, keep up the good work. :O)
Oh good for Tyler!! That is so awesome!! I have one of those also and I always get a pit in my stomach during conference time. He is a smart kid but his academics suffer because of his lack of focus and "chattiness". I have not had conferences yet so I will pray for a result like yours. He is a good kid and I hate being mad at him for not doing well because I was EXACTLY like him in school, but I want him to do well so badly that if frustrates me when I see the poor grades. Oh well, what can you expect from a 2nd grader :)
Good for Tyler!!!
Christy :)

That's great! I'm expecting to hear some of those same things at A's first P/T conference (the talking to much etc...)
Way to go Tyler!!!!!! I know that feeling that I think every parent gets when its time for conference.
Way to go Tyler!! As a teacher, I always kinda dread the conferences where we have to mention those little things, but love the ones that are so positive.
Thats wonderful. I always love to hear things that are good during a conference. Keep up the good work Tyler.
