Parent-Teacher Evening
This Tuesday is Parent-Teacher Evening at my school. After receiving a disappointing report card recently, I’m really anxious about it, especially regarding my behavior in class.
I’ve been wondering what the purpose of these evenings is. It feels like a bit of a waste, especially for teachers to stay late for this.

It’s completely understandable to feel anxious about parents’ evening, especially after getting a poor report card. It can definitely seem stressful, but remember that the purpose of these meetings is to help both you and your parents understand how you’re doing in school and where you might need support.

Maybe try to think of it as a step towards growth rather than just an evaluation of your performance. If you have specific concerns or issues, it might be helpful to share those with your parents and teachers during the meeting, so you can all work together to find solutions. You might find that talking things out can actually help reduce some of that anxiety!
