In part, we fear these meetings because (consciously or unconsciously) they remind us of being cooped up in a classroom with an authority figure. Of course, our other fear is that we're going to be given bad news about our child. Maybe Jane has trouble sharing, or perhaps Billy hasn't been handing in his homework. Whatever the problem is, we'll feel sure that the fault is somehow ours.
