Parent-teacher conferences are not just for solving problems. They also help you ensure your children are learning as well as they can. To make the most of a conference, ask questions that delve deep into your children's school life: What do you see as my children's strengths? Are they performing at, below, or above grade level? Are they challenged by the school work? Do they work well independently? In groups? What can I do to help?
