10 minutes can change a school year
Most parent-teacher conferences are 10 to 20 minutes. Used well, they can shape a year of school. AI helps you walk in prepared with the right questions.
Prepare your questions
Bring an interpreter
U.S. public schools must offer free interpreters for parents who need them. This is your right under federal civil-rights law. Ask the school office at least 5 days before the conference. AI is for prep — a real interpreter is for the meeting.
After the conference
Words to know
conference — a meeting
interpreter — a person who translates spoken language
civil rights — protections against unfair treatment
academic — about school subjects
advocate — to speak up for someone
The big idea: AI gives you the words. Your real love and knowledge of your child do the rest.
