Parent Teacher Conferences

I don't know why I dread those three words. I go in every time expecting a list of what my kids do wrong, from forgetting homework to making a trip to the Principals office on a regular occasion. Or hitting and scratching the little boy sitting next to her, or complaints that my son is a little too curious for his own good.
Every time I am surprised. All good things. If there is a negative thing it is so lost in the good ones.
Mackenzie's teacher said she has improved so much, especially in the social side. She has friends! And she may doodle and not focus but she has improved so much!
And Joey! Well, his teachers says he hates to read and follow along but he makes her heart smile! She gets his quirks and looks past them and loves him for it!
I joke and tell tall tales about them every now and again but they truly are the lights in my life! They are fun to watch, especially their imperfections, but only because I have them too and if we can't laugh at ourselves, what's the point?  All six of them are a pure delight! And it is so great when you can go in and the teachers can see what you do! That is truly a wonderful teacher and I am happy to say my little ones have that!
And I have experienced what it is like to have a teacher who does not care and a teacher who does. The difference is amazing! And I am lucky if my kids have ones who care about them like I had! Truly priceless!
