Parents and Teachers

[Music] thank you for coming to kelly's conference i appreciate it of course i wouldn't miss it i always want to hear how kelly's doing in her classes well i could go on and on about how glad i am to have kelly in my class she is just such a joy to teach thank you that is so nice to hear she comes to class prepared and ready to learn every single day when i'm teaching she pays attention and takes detailed notes she's always on task and responsible i know i can depend on kelly that's great how is you getting along with your classmates is she social she's always been pretty shy so i worry that she might have trouble making friends i have noticed she is a bit shy but she has had no trouble making friends her classmates often ask her for help with classwork and she's always willing to help them [Music] i see her at lunch with a small group of friends and they seem to be laughing and getting along it looks to me like she is doing well socially and what about her great is she doing well on her tests and quizzes she does an outstanding job on her schoolwork i can tell she is working hard and studying she often gets perfect scores on her quizzes and tests she's a very smart girl her current grade in this class is 99 wow good for her yes i've been very impressed with her well i appreciate all of the positive i can't wait to go home and tell kelly how proud i am of all her hard work yes she deserves it and whatever you're doing as a parent keep it up you're doing a great job it's so nice of you to say i try to help kelly whenever i can but really she has always been driven to succeed i give her all of the credit thanks again for stopping by thank you for teaching kelly and your classmates i know she really enjoys your class have a great evening thanks you too [Music] thank you for taking the time to meet with me today i really wanted to speak with you about owen's behavior in class and his grades thank you for reaching out to schedule this meeting i've been meaning to contact you as well i was definitely not pleased when i saw owen's last report card yes i think he's capable of doing so much better in my class i agree does he pay attention when he is in class well actually this is one of the biggest reasons i wanted to speak with you owen's classroom behavior has really been a problem he doesn't pay attention when i'm teaching and he often tries to distract his classmates i try to separate him from his friends but then he just yells across the room at them [Music] i ask him to stop yelling and this usually gets him to calm down for a few minutes he becomes a little more focused and less talkative [Music] that's good i guess but i wish he would just behave in the first place yes i agree i was thinking he might respond well to a reward like 15 extra minutes of recess on fridays for the entire class for good behavior i think he might be motivated by this what do you think i think that's a great idea he loves recess perfect but we need another plan to help his grades yes he needs to pass this class if he wants to play on the basketball team well that should help motivate him also i offer extra help to students who fall behind in the morning before school i think owen would really benefit if he came in for help that would be amazing thank you so much i think that would really help him can you get him to school early on mondays and thursdays at 8 15. that's not a problem at all i'll just drop him off on my way to work [Music] perfect i think he can really improve if he just puts in a little more effort and focuses more in class agreed i'll talk to him about the new plan tonight he might not be excited about getting to school early but if he wants to be able to play basketball he has to get his grades up that's true well i appreciate everything you're doing to help owen improve it's my pleasure i want him to succeed and i know he can do better me too thank you thanks for coming in to chat today [Music] hello hello is this mr thomas yes hi this is mrs brown lindsay's mom is this a good time to chat sure how can i help you well lindsay appears to be very sad at home lately [Music] she has no interest in school anymore and i feel like she isn't making any progress in her classes this isn't normal for her she is usually a happy kid who has always enjoyed school but not anymore i'm sorry to hear that i was wondering if you have noticed any behavior changes at school or any sudden changes in her schoolwork yes i noticed she had a tough time on her past few tests she also seems a bit more reserved lately in class yes she is acting more reserved at home as well she used to be more talkative and outgoing but now she rarely talks to us and she spends most of her time in her room she won't say much but she hints that she is getting bullied by a classmate she mentioned that a girl named kimberly has been making fun of her [Laughter] do you ever see kimberly talking to her in class she does sit near kimberly in class i haven't noticed them talking at all apparently kimberly has been calling lindsay names and making mean comments about the way lindsay looks i am so sorry to hear this lindsay has been miserable lately and i think it's because of this bullying i was wondering if there was any way you could help me make things better for lindsay of course i'll talk to kimberly and see if i can get her to stop this rude behavior it's completely unacceptable thank you and can you tell me if lindsay has other friends to talk to in class she does she hangs out with a nice girl named michelle could you change her seat so she sits next to michelle sure i think that would be helpful is there anything else you think would help i can talk to lindsay if you'd like i can let her know that this is wrong and i'm here to help her i think lindsay would appreciate that thank you i was so confused about how to help but i think i feel better now please keep me posted if you notice anything else going on with lindsay in class of course i will let you know if i see anything out of the ordinary and keep me informed as well if there is more that i can do i'll be glad to help thank you i appreciate it and i'm sure lindsay will appreciate all of the support too [Music] [Music] thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for more videos like this
