Another year, another set of student-led conferences. At our school, students are well prepared, scripted and practiced, and to watch them try on the mantle of personal responsibility for their education for the first time is always validating to the educator in me.
This year there were no tears and very little drama. Because I had so many conferences, the day flew by, and at the end I walked out of the building considering how delightful it is to participate in the novelty of most kids' first professional meeting, and how wonderful that most parents feel the same way.
