beginning our parent teacher conferences

ready to share stories, laugh, chat with families,

at some point

 voices grew crackly,

  coffee and lots of water became important

leaving at the end, very quietly walking to our cars.

happy families and most of our voices left behind.

  8. On the other hand, some of those parent-teacher conferences I attended with my own parents remain remarkably fresh in my mind, as do memories of those teachers. The importance of those hours lingers, even though I can’t recall the sound of the voices.

  9. It is such an important part of being a teacher. I feel for you (and my brother-in-law, nephew, and a few other teachers I know). That makes for a LOT of talking in a short period. No wonder, when the end comes, I bet all you seek is silence… and something soothing for your throat!

  11. Haha! I always enjoyed parent/teacher conferences, but it’s quite a relief not to use our husky voices so much once retired. The first day back following summer was also a strain of the voice box.
