Did or do you always attend your child's Open House?

The kids are so excited to show you what they have been working on and where they go for different classes. It's fun, ours is actually tonight!

Have fun! :-)

YES

Thanks!

Of course ..
I ALWAYS made it a point ..
when I was not TDY/Deployed ..
to attend the open house at MY Childrens' Schools ..
talk with their instructors ..
get an idea of the assignments that the students will do ..
understand the textbook and what the qualifications of the teacher are ..
(IT is astounding how many classes do NOT have teachers within their specialty) ..

and I made sure if there was a 'problem'
I would go and have the problem taken care of right off the bat ..
ask for another instructor .. move the schedule around ..
and let the instructor know ..
IF my child is rude, disrespectful, or doesn't do their assignment ..
Here's MY Phone number and E-Address ..
DO Contact me
(Because, I expected my children to actually LEARN in class)

of course

Good! Thank you.

Yes we always attended our children's open houses. We talked with the teachers, saw their desks and any papers they had on display. They usually had a meeting where the principal spoke about what was going on at the school. My kids always did well in school so there were really no issues or problems to discuss. We stayed long enough to see everything and cover all the bases with the teachers.

No problems (generally) here either. Thanks.

I did attend my childrens Open House, because they were always so excited about it, and even more excited when they saw me there.

Yeah all of mine were (are) the same, always excited about it. She got to jump around in one of those inflatable things (mind is blank)...and have popcorn. She also is very happy that I go.

When they are little, it takes so little to make them happy.

So true. I find myself grasping onto every moment with my youngest before she too turns into a teenager. :-)

They grow up so fast, I have a 11 month old great grandson, it seems like yesterday that he was born, now he's so cute, has a personality of his own, trying to walk and talk, and he's funny, soon he'll be a teenager, that's why you've got to love them and be with them as much as possible.

We attended most of them .

Thanks!

I went to all of my daughters' open-house events when they were in school. I don't think I missed a single one.

I hate open houses...and that's probably because I hated school as a kid. Too many dam@ bullies!

I didn't hate school until jr. high & up. Far more bullies today than when we were younger, it seems. Thanks.

Yeah, it sucks being a kid now...

That's an understatement! Wouldn't be so bad if parents would do their jobs.

Very, very much agreed!

No kids yet but my mom never goes to mine

Sorry, and thank you.

No need to be sorry. They are all boring so i didn't want to go

lol oh ok

yea lol

Yes - It's my kids school. The spend a lot of time there - it's important for me to know all about it!

I'm no stranger to her school nor what's going on in her classroom and otherwise I don't feel it's necessary to stroll around for no good reason. Thank you.

That's what it's really all about afterall - making sure you have a good relationship with the teacher and are part of the extended education family. If you've found another way to do that - that's terrific!

no kids yet

Nor anytime soon ;-)

i'm planing on having me some youngins in about 10 years :P

Ten years, is a good number ;-)

yes it is i'll be 26 i don't want to be too old when i have kids
