Parent/Teacher Conferences

Oh it has been a long two days of conferences.  Out of my class of 14 students, 14 parents came to the conferences.  This is really unheard of in America for you to have 100 percent of your student's parents show up.  But of course in an International School parents are very concerned about their child's performance.  I am worn emotionally, because I care so much about the students and talking with their parents can be emotional, because parents care so much about their child.  All the translating for one conference is tiring, too.  My mind is spinning and I feel like I need to go into hibernation for the weekend.
