The Parent Code

Smart Parents and their Best Tricks

Have you ever sat in a parent/teacher interview and wondered what the heck your kids teacher is thinking about you? Are they judging your parenting? Do they think you’re annoying? Do they even CARE? The parent/ teacher world has always been a little tricky to navigate. Especially with all the misconceptions out there, so we decided to ask a teacher with over 30 years experience everything we had ever wanted to know. From how they feel when we volunteer at school through to what goes through their minds when they receive an email from us at 10pm at night.
