Parent-Teacher Meeting in Spain
Book a tutoría and talk with your child's teacher about marks, homework and behaviour.
Spanish schools don't really have a parents' evening: each class has a tutor who meets families one to one in a 'tutoría', often on a weekday afternoon, and the school year is split into three evaluaciones with report cards. The cards follow a quick word at the school gate and a full tutoría about a ten-year-old boy.
