<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: They are Necessary if Planned Properly
Parent-teacher conferences can help to improve a student's performance in school. If the teacher is prepared beforehand, the conference is more likely to be a success, according to Teacher Vision. If the teacher can address two or three concerns with the parent, stay on topic and summarize at the end, positive results can occur.
On the Other: They are not Necessary if They Get Off Topic
If the conference is not well-planned and gets off topic by the parent or the teacher, it will not accomplish the goal of improving the student's schoolwork or behavior, according to Fox News. The conference is not the time to discuss upcoming class parties, playground quarrels or bashing other students, parents or teachers.
Bottom Line
Because parent-teacher conferences are usually limited to a short time, it is best if both the parent and the teacher prepare ahead of time, especially if there is any particular area that needs to be addressed.
