The parents meeting was set on Wednesday, May 6, 7:00Pm, as told by my son two days in advance. Because the off-duty time has been altered half an hour later than usual after the May Day, we, my son and I, after hurrying in eating the supper, then headed towards the school.
There was a particular task assigned by his head teacher that he would recite the Tang poem at the meeting with his other four classmates before the parents. However, there were other procedures prior to his appearance, so when I entered the classroom, my son played with his classmates outside.
The meeting started by the speech made by the school head through the broadcast, in her speech, there were general points concerning the school recent development and future plan, as well as something that we parents and the teachers should make joint efforts to achieve.
Following the speech, the individual meeting in each class began. Arranged by the head teacher, the math teacher stepped onto the platform first; she stressed that the difference and gap would be more significant in more senior class. The high scores achieved in each test might be more difficult than in junior class. This was the very stage of developing abstract thoughts in more senior grade. Those who are disadvantaged in abstract thought might lag behind in scores.
After the math teacher, the English teacher came in. she directed a short sitcom played by her students. The contents were copied from the textbook. She suggested to improve the English level every pupil should study at home everyday for at least half an hour by way of either reading or listening, more efficiently, by talking with parents. As for this suggestion, my son is far short of the time to study English at home. He shows little interest in English. It seems for my son there always has not enough time to study English after finishing the homework and playing bamboo flute.
Finally, the protagonist, head teacher, who is the Chinese teacher, played the important role. It was the time for my son and his classmates to give a show of reciting the tang poem in front of the parents. However, it was a little disappointed, my son failed to seize the chance to show his talent as the teacher employed another style of test. He described the scene from the poem at first, and then the students answered it in a rivaling way. The playing time was rather shorter less than two minutes.
The head teacher focused on two aspects that he thought it was worth to mention. In the first place, he introduced and assessed the effects of the observing diary that was designed by him and practiced by the students. He said the ability of writing the observing diary had been improved, and he had gained the special experience from the performance of the students which could be applied to the next circle of his teaching period more efficiently after he had finished to send off this round of students.
Secondly, he read some excellent mood diary written by the students; also it was a requirement of his. Surely, some of diaries were well finished. The teacher could overlook the track of soul of the students. From which the teacher could understand more his students. The innocent expression of students’ confidence indeed provided an effective way for the teacher to have a closet conversation with his students.
The teacher also announced the names of the students who performed well recently. My son’s name was certainly listed in some fields against which the good or poor could be assessed.
Finally, the head teacher made some suggestions for our parents to pay attention to their children. Here are the points for parents to keep under review.
1. control strictly the time of watching TV and being on the internet.
2. try to arrange your child to have breakfast at home rather than outside individually, otherwise there will offer the chance for your child to leave the money used as allowance(零花钱) without eating breakfast. Try to take a nap in the noon. The bedtime is no later than 10pm.
3. guide your child how to use the allowance correctly.
4. stick to signoff on the exercise book, and manage to write more, such as commenting on the performance regarding the quality of homework, efficiency, timeliness, or others what would need the help form the teachers.
The parents meeting lasted two hours, which was required by the school. Precisely the head teacher concluded it on time.
