So, we had Parent/Teacher Conferences tonight.  They make me so sad.  I was there for two hours, from 6-8.  I had 11 parents come.  11!!!  I teach 114 students.  11 parents came.  Now, we do have an afternoon session next Tuesday, but I bet I don't top 20 on that day either.  And, who came?  The parents of my students who are getting A's.  The parents who I need to see never come.  I e-mail, send letters, call, etc.  And still, they do not come.  It makes me sad and it also explains why these kids are failing.  :(
