Title: Never underestimate the power of a teacher
Description: Parent/teacher conference observations

I'm currently an intern at a middle school. Earlier today, I had the privelage of observing parent/teacher conferences. I'm surprised none of the parents yelled at any teachers. As a matter of fact, the teachers seemed to have more influence than the parents.
Anyway, the middle school is split up into 6 teams, 3 for each grade. Every teacher in a team was lined up in a row, so parents could easily go from one teacher to the next without having to meander all over the gym hunting them down.
One set of parents happened to bring their kid along, who attends the middle school. After they were through talking to the science teacher, who sat behind my mentor teacher and I, they came to talk to my mentor teacher. Anyway, the kid insisted on sitting down because he was tired. The parents tried to get him to relinquish his seat for the dad, but to no avail. Then the science teacher intervened and said "(Name of kid) get up." The kid promply got out of his seat. I chuckled inside at how the teacher had more influence than the parents.

Wierd, if that were me it would probably be the other way around, like me listening to the parent.
But I'd probably be threatened with punishment so yeah, that would make me move.
I'm such a polite fellow I'd move anyways XD

Handwriting: My teacher's all, "DON'T PUT YOUR HAND UP, GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" really loud.
What a surprise.
Lining up: He's like, "STAND IN ONE DIRECTION, FACING FRONT!!!!!!!!" really loud. He treats us like soldiers, what I said at the last post......<_< But I like him.
