PARENT-TEACHER MEETING….
July 19th, 2005
When I arrived for my daughter’s parent-teacher conference,
the teacher seemed a bit flustered, especially when she
started telling me that my little girl didn’t always pay attention
in class and was sometimes a little flighty. “For example,
she’ll do the wrong page in the workbook,” the teacher
explained, “and I’ve even found her sitting in the wrong desk.”
“I don’t understand that,” I replied defensively. “Where could
she have gotten that?”
The teacher went on to reassure me that my daughter was still
doing fine in school and was sweet and likeable. Finally, after
a pause, she added, “By the way, Mrs. Johnson, our
appointment was for tomorrow.”
