339 Parent Teacher Conference

A:Thank you for coming tonight Mrs. Webber. As a teacher, it’s great seeing the kid’s parents assist our parent-teacher conference  
    night.                                                                                                                              
5568B:Of course! I am very interested to know how my child is doing and also get some insight from you as to how he can improve.        
5569A:Well Allen is a great student. He is a hard worker and very well behaved, however he does struggle a bit with math.               
5570B:I guess he gets that from me, I never did well in math when I was a kid. What can I do at home to compliment what he is learning  
    in the classroom.                                                                                                                   
5571A:Well, it’s important that you sit with him and review his homework assignments and help him with math. I would also recommend he  
    stay after school twice a week for tutoring sessions. It will really help a lot.                                                    
5572B:Thanks a lot! I will definitely do that. Is there anything else?                                                                  
5573A:Um.. yes. Here is a notice from our financial department, seems your child’s tution is overdue.
