Parent Teacher Interviews.

As I write this I'm also simultaneously writing my English essay which is due first thing tomorrow. Mum asked me why I started it at 10:53pm the night before....good question Mum, guess I just like a challenge.

Yes it's that time of year again. When I sign up every teacher for a ten minute interview with whichever parent it is whose number is up. This year it was Dad who got to listen to teachers tell him that academically I'm a favourite and yet personality wise I'm a nightmare....what of it?

You see my parents hear it every year...twice. It doesn't even faze them any more to hear that my hand-writing is horrendous, I may be a little too direct in my opinions and I don't play nice with the other kids....17 years of it tomorrow and I think they've just perfected their replies.

Teacher: Giorgia is disruptive.
Parent: Does that affect her marks?
Teacher: Giorgia is very direct.
Parent: Would you prefer she lied?
Teacher: Giorgia's handwriting is poor.
Parent: She still got an A right? So it's legible...

You see my parents are under no false pretence, they know what I'm like, so all I can really hope for is that if a teacher bursts out crying or something (....it's happened....sport was never my favourite subject....) that they're not too shocked to have prepared an answer.

So this year's interviews weren't too bad. No one cried, no one had a speech prepared discussing exactly what was wrong with me, no one tried to ignore that my marks are good and just talk about my "daily interactions," just Lit telling me it was too much like english and english vice versa. History telling me my essays are too detailed and German telling me my grammar was terrible...all things I could and probably have told my parents.

Meh, see if I can do more damage next time I guess :)

Hope all is well.
