Teacher Challenges 'Game-Based' Parent Meetings, Advocates for Direct Communication
A Ukrainian teacher has sparked debate online by sharing her unconventional approach to parent-teacher meetings. In a recent video, Diana Serhiivna, known as @sergiivna_teacher, explained why she opts out of 'game-based' parent gatherings, a practice gaining popularity in some educational circles. 'I imagine parents after a long day at work, some dealing with numbers, others on their feet in a store. The last thing they want is to play games or do trust exercises,' she stated. Serhiivna advocates for a direct, problem-solving approach, viewing meetings as a 'partnership' where concrete issues, achievements, and future steps are discussed. 'For children, it's play; for parents, it's specifics,' she asserted, highlighting her belief that parents need clear answers and actionable advice to support their child's learning effectively. Her stance has resonated with many, prompting discussions about the most effective ways for schools and parents to collaborate.
