Q. How long is the interview?
A. Individual interviews usually take 15 to 30 minutes, and three-way interviews (with children present) take about 20 to 40 minutes. If you don't have enough time, you can ask for extra time.
Q. Can I bring an interpreter?
A. In most cases, it is OK if you consult with the school in advance. Some local governments have a system for dispatching interpreters to schools. Please also consult with the Board of Education.
Q. How should I dress?
A. You don't have to wear formal attire, but a clean and neat casual look is safe. Avoid wearing jerseys or extremely loose clothing.
Q. What should I prepare in advance?
A. You can use your time effectively by writing down what you want to ask in bullet points. If you bring your report card, contact book, homework notebook, etc., we can provide you with a more specific consultation.
Q. Can I feel free to ask you any questions you have?
A. Yes, Japanese teachers are willing to give you advice. You should consult with your child even about trivial matters such as bullying, learning delays, and friendships.
