Parent's evening.

Ahhh... the joys of being a teacher at my school. When we have parents evening its often with some big shots in the city... I have one particular student who has missed about 33 of my classes. Thats just one term. Yah, he basically does not come to school. His family pays 16,000 USD for him not to come to school. Good stuff right? Anyways, him and his father show up at parents evening. His father asks me how I think he will do on his final exam. My response? "Well I do not think he is going to pass because your son never comes to class". Of course his father doesn't speak any English so the student was translating all of this for him. His second question was "What do you think my son's level of English is?" "Again, I am not sure because your son never comes to school." Then he started speaking rapidly in another langauge and I'm pretty sure he called his son and idiot. wooo... Just a day at my school.

In addition to this I think I have decided to stay another year. Don't hate me. Byee...
