10．In China，having a parent-meeting is an important way to help and improve the students．Parents go along to discuss their child's work with the teachers at a parent-meeting．If kids are not working hard，they may find themselves told off after a parents'meeting!If a kid is trying hard，but has a problem，the parents and the teachers try to work out a way to help．But parent-meetings can be held only once or twice a semester（学期）．"It's really a hard job，"a headmaster explained when some parents asked．"We have done our best．"
In Britain，schools are governed by boards of governors（理事会）．Such boards will include the school head teacher，teachers，parents of students and other people from the community．Having parents'evenings is really important part of the community．At a parents'evening，teachers might be too careful to give parents bad news directly．According to a survey of 2，000primary school parents in the UK，55% felt parents'evenings did not really tell them how their child was progressing．"Parents'evenings all too often end with parents having no clear idea of how their children are doing at school，"says the survey，"and the average time spent with a teacher was 13minutes．Such a rushed conversation did nothing at all．"It suggests that too often the experience of parents'evenings can be busy parents arriving for a rushed meeting in which parents are left unsure about their children's school work．
