Parents Evenings

Has anyone got any funny Parents Evening stories? I am going to my Year 11 one in a month and a half. Same old story again and again. :rolleyes:

Yeah, my (now ex-) Geography teacher told our Geography group that some of the teachers see how many times they can say a certain keyword to parents within the evening. I think one of the choices was one night was "mediocre". Hence, my ICT teacher: "If Calum doesn't pull his finger out of his backside he'll end up with a mediocre grade" :biggrin:

I think she won actually that time, and everyone was probably getting on with their work more than usual the next lesson!

Well, my mum did have a habit of embarrassing me in front of teachers. The worst was in Year 8 when she walked right up to the Head of Lower School and said 'my daughter told me you never smile!' Oh my God, I'm sure I actually went bright red :redface:

Then in Year 9, when we walked past my Head of Year, she said 'that man has less hair every time I see him!' and I swear he heard her! There was also comments like 'are we keeping you up?' to my GCSE French teacher, a discussion of whether my GCSE science teacher had something wrong with his eyes or if he was just a perv (!) and comments about the hair and weight of various teachers! Parents, gotta' love 'em! :rolleyes:

lol yeah parents can sometimes be embarassing. During one of my parents evenings, my dad made sure that he did all the talking whilst my mum just nodded :p:

. During the year 7 parents evening I remember my dad though embarassing me in front of my french teacher when he was saying how one night I was worried sick about a french exam I had the following day. And sometimes the teachers seem to go off on a tangent discussing with my parents about totally irrelevant issues like the things I do in my free time (I guess when they have nothing else to say about me academically) and I'm there just praying that they'll stop. :redface:

My Yr 11 parents evening when my Science teacher told my parents that I'd called her unqualified in front of the whole class. Their faces .... And Yr 10 parents evening, when my form tutor told my parents that I'd been permanently banned from the library for being rude to the librarians ... once again, their faces. And during my Year 11 parents evening, my Dad kept comment on all my female teacher's rings :confused:

. And my Mum having a go at my English teacher for not being able to recommend a revision guide. :redface:

And best of all (for me :biggrin:

), my Yr 9 science teacher telling my parents how I was a terrible student and such (meh, long story but was the funniest year ever! :p:

). Aftrwards, my mum walked away and said 'I can see why you misbehave. She's the most boring and incompetent women ive ever met'. :rofl:

God I'm bad :redface:

My Year 7 Music teacher said to my Dad, "I'm sorry, I can't help you this evening, I don't have a clue who your son is." That was the last time he visited the Music Department on Parents Evenings :p:

You were demonstrating the Physics of a flying rubber, hence you were a thoughtful student :p:

My dad said the wrong name. The teacher just looked at him and said "theres no Carla in any of my history classes" my dad had an argument with him and stormed off. Only later did he realise that not only was Carla not in his history class but in fact she was not even in that school. He sheepishly apologised.

In my Year 10 Bio class, our teacher was pathetic! So the class, when she left the room, moved all the tables around to face the back and she said nothing, and when she came back in 8 boys snook up behind her and were stood their for nealry 10 minutes before she realised they were there.

She was nicknamed The Corpse because she looked dead too. :biggrin:
