A Friendly Tip to Keep Conferences on Schedule

Speech and debate teams 2026

Conferences

Like appointments in a doctor’s office, the first appointments normally start on schedule yet as time marches on the appointments seem to get pushed back – two minutes here three minutes there and before you know it the appointments are running 10 or more minutes late.  So that we can keep conferences on schedule, we are recommending a practice that is new for us; that is, to gently knock on the door when it’s time for your conference.

Thank you for understanding and thanks to the parent who shared this tip!

P.S.  We don’t recommend the use of this practice at doctors’ offices.
