I usually want to know how they're coping with school work, their strengths and weaknesses. If there are any areas they need extra help with and what I can do to help etc. I like it when the teachers show me work they've done and tell me what they're studing and whether they're enjoying it or not. I like to hear about how they interact with other kids, whether they have or are forming friendships.


I also listen carefully to how the teacher talks about them. It gives me an idea whether they are connecting with each other.
