Parents’ Evening


a bi-annual night of stress, guilt and recrimination where stressed out/ tired teachers who have spent the night frantically marking books converse with defensive / stressed parents who feel like they’re being judged.

parent’s often don’t let on who’s mum and dad they are so teachers play a strange kind of guessing game trying to work out which of their pupils could be sp-wned by this combination of people.

they also can’t risk calling them by the same surname of their children as theres a pretty good chance they’re different.

teachers try to be diplomatic and vague whilst parents want answers.
5 hours into a normal parents’ evening

teacher: good evening. i’m mr. blake.

parent: hi

teacher: you must be here to talk about…

parent: yeah

4 minutes later

teacher: (still not 100% who’s parent this is)…so definate progress has been made which is pleasing and bodes well for next year…

parent: (none the wizer but pleased they’ve not been called bad parents to their faces) thanks

teacher: (lying) feel free to drop by at any time if you have any concerns.
parent: (lying) thanks i will.
