Youve expressed your concerns and hopefully come to some agreement about what you and the teacher expect. If your child passes the pretest for the spelling list every week, then hell be offered a different one to work on at home. If he demonstrates a sufficient level of mastery of the two-digit multiplication algorithm, then he will be given multi-step word problems in its place. Formulate and agree on a plan, making it as precise or as specific as possible. Write it down. Dont leave without a plan of attack. If it feels like your conference is running long, that your issues will take more time, reschedule or figure out another way to get this step accomplished. When you get home, if you feel its necessary, email a copy of what you agreed upon to the teacher. Having a plan that you both created provides a wonderful starting point for future conversations about your childs work at school and helps you feel more certain that you have been fully heard.
