Abstract
It is the purpose of this study to determine the opinions of the parents of pupils attending the Arden-Carmichael School District schools as to the relative merits of conferences and report cards for reporting pupil progress. Several phases of the problem will be analyzed through the following questions: 1. To discuss the opinions of parents with respect to continuing the parent-teacher conference program in conjunction with a check-list type of report card, and 2. To discover the opinion of the parents who prefer a report card only. The opinions of those parents who prefer continuing the parent-teacher conference program in conjunction with a check-list type of report card and of those who prefer the report card only will be tabulated. The replies to the subsidiary questions will also be tabulated in order t.211.t recommendations may be made for improvement in the program of reporting to parents. Questions subsidiary to the main problems were used to provide information useful to the district. Such questions were devised to discover how often conferences or reports were desired and at what levels the conferences were preferred
