Confresnces (the talk of death) title by Micala Bruce

By Kate Schlegel

In November, all of the middle school students meet with each of one of their teachers. The way the conferences work is you go and get to meet with each of your teachers on one day. The days you can have your confrence is Thursday November 5, 2009, who can also have Friday November 6, 2009, the third day you can have your confrence is on Thursday November 12, 2009, the last day you can have your confrence is Friday November 13, 2009. Those are the four days you can have your conferences on. The way the conferences work at Stanley is you have a scheduled confrence on one of those four days. Your parents, your advisor and you are at one table. Teachers come in one at a time and talk about how you are doing in those classes, but your advisor is there for all of the confrence. When you go in it is a little scary, but once you know that you are doing well in school or okay in school it’s not that bad. It is a little frigtning because you don’t know what your teachers are going to say at your confrence, but when your over with your confernce you are relived until you get in the car with your parents, because if you did not that well it is a little scary. I think conferences are good at Stanley because you can either do what your doing the best or you need some help and work a little hard.
