Electronic Interviews
Parent-teacher interviews are slightly moving more towards electronic organizational services in the same vein as other educational services and functions. This is similar to other trends in education such as blended learning. Where a parent was unable to attend a face-to-face interview at an organised school event, or was unable to see some teachers due to demand, interviews can be carried out over the phone or via common video conferencing systems, like Google Voice or Skype.

Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or interviews:
“The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
