“As parents and teachers, we share a common goal of helping our children reach their full potential.” PTMs are an essential part of a child’s academic journey, and it is important for parents to prepare themselves for these meetings. By following these do’s and don’ts, parents can ensure that they get the most out of the meeting and work effectively with the teacher to address any concerns and improve their child’s academic performance. Effective communication between parents and teachers is key to a child’s success, and PTMs provide an opportunity for this communication to take place.

The PTM came to an end with the conclusion that joint effort, mutual understanding and cooperation of parents and teachers is very important for the proper nourishment and progress of students.
When teachers communicate with parents and get to know each student better, they can make well-informed choices about what and how to teach the student. Teachers can receive information regarding the learning pattern, academic difficulties and room for improvement. This certainly boosts the academic interest of students. It leads to better grades and a deeper knowledge of the subjects they study. Similarly, parents can pick up teaching techniques that work well for their child in the classroom and duplicate them at home to reinforce the child’s learning.
Parent-teacher meetings allow students and parents to provide feedback to school management.. If you feel the need for improvement, you can express your concerns during the meeting.
By attending the parent teacher meeting, parents are giving time to the holistic development of their child. This meeting also gives parents the time to focus on the obstacles that may hinder the progress of child.
