Frustration

I'm at work. Procrastinating. As usual.
Tonight are parent teacher interviews. I should be preparing notes on the students who I will be discussing with their parents. But instead I'm writing about it on here. Mainly because I don't like being at work from 8am to 8pm in order to tell parents things they usually already know, don't want to hear or don't much care about!!! And to add insult to injury we have to do it all again next week with some more!!! Very occasionally something worthwhile actually comes out of parent teacher interviews. Normally though it is nothing more than a process we go through so that we are not as easy to blame if a child does not succeed in a particular subject. Since when is education and learning all about processes and structures and crossing the t's and dotting the i's so that teachers don't get yelled at for a child not doing what they were meant to?
Rant over. Back to work.
