Just recently, my nephew did not have any classes because there was a parent-Teachers Association. So even if classes were about to end, there were still meetings scheduled at the end of the school year so parents would know what happened to their children for one whole school year, the developments, what are needed to improve.
I remember my mom used to attend all these meetings for all of us. She said that she wants to attend so she will know what are our strengths and weaknesses in school. And she also wants to get to know the teachers who teaches us.
