Teachers in r/Teachers report parent conferences are chaotic and emotionally draining, with parents disengaged, defensive, or absent entirely — especially at Title I schools. TeacherConf Prep gives teachers a structured pre-conference workflow: auto-generate talking points per student from grade data, flag at-risk patterns, and produce a shareable one-page family summary in plain language (with translation). It turns a stressful 10-minute slot into a documented, professional interaction.
