1
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm one of your daughter's teachers. I'm calling on

2
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:24,239
behalf of the school. Yeah, you missed the parent teacher

3
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,320
meeting scheduling. No, no, no, it's no trouble at all.

4
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,920
I was just calling to see if you would like

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,880
to schedule an appointment. Yes, it would be with me

6
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:51,600
since i'm her primary teacher. Oh yeah, today is fine.

7
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,479
I'll be in the office until seven. That works perfectly,

8
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:27,519
and I'll expect you then bbe uh yeah, come in. Hey,

9
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:32,000
you must be her dad. It's a pleasure to meet you.

10
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,640
That's not an inconvenience at all. I completely understand the

11
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,239
control things and everything like that, and with how many

12
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,560
activities your daughter does, it's even a surprise you even

13
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:53,239
have time to breathe. Her daughter loves to talk about

14
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,159
things she does. She actually decides to stay inside during

15
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:08,960
recess and just talk. M hm. Well, I don't want

16
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919
to take it much of a time, so I'll just

17
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:16,639
get to the point of why I was concerned. Has

18
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,520
anything happened at home or has she mentioned anything recently?

19
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:31,639
I see, well, your daughter had a friend group at

20
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,560
one point the beginning of this year, and it seems

21
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,960
like something might have happened in that friend group. My

22
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:47,039
only concern is is that she's showing more signs of

23
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,599
being aggressive towards this girl. So I'm just wondering if

24
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:58,639
something happened to fight. Maybe. No, it's it's completely fine.

25
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:07,400
I don't judge. I only wants best for the kids,

26
00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:12,840
that's really it. And if someone in the class is

27
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,199
giving her a hard time outside of school, I can

28
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,639
easily rearrange the seating assignments, be more vigilant in keeping

29
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:28,000
the two separated. There's a multitude of things I could do. Yeah,

30
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:36,599
go ahead, speak freely. It's fine. I'm aware of her. Yes,

31
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,360
she's another child in my class. You went out with

32
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:57,400
her mother. Okay, I'm not seeing how that pertains I see.

33
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:02,680
So things ended badly and her daughter started picking on

34
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:12,240
your daughter. No, it's sadly not the first time something

35
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,479
like this has happened. It's the first time that's happened

36
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:20,920
in my teaching. But that's nothing I can't take care of.

37
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Would you like me to reassign them? No, it's no

38
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:35,000
trouble for me. I'm the teacher. Yeah, just give me

39
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:47,199
a moment. Uh, there we go. Okay, there I set

40
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:54,839
I said in the request. Yeah, the other teacher should

41
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,120
be made a way of this as well. Thank you

42
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:06,079
for the transparency. Oh, I've only been teaching a couple

43
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:13,439
of years. To to be precise, Hm, I graduated and

44
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:25,839
went right into teaching. University wasn't necessarily my strong suit,

45
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:34,439
but I always wanted to be a teacher. So mh.

46
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,720
By the way, I hope I'm not overstepping and asking this,

47
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:54,839
But you and her mother are separated or I see. No,

48
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,240
she never really talks about her mother at all. That's

49
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,720
why I was curious. I mean our other parent teacher

50
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:09,279
meeting last year, you never showed up. Yeah. I'm just

51
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,319
trying to get a better handle on kind of her

52
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,600
home life a little bit. I mean, she sings her

53
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:23,639
daddy's praises all the time. It's kind of difficult to

54
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:36,720
not get involved. Did I say something off? No, you're

55
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,920
eating up? Is it too hot in year? I can

56
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:48,279
turn on the fan or something. No, it's no trouble here.

57
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Let me just I have to go buying you here there.

58
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,920
I normally get cold easily. I keep the fan off

59
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:11,519
all the time there. Now, Yeah, your daughter talks a

60
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,040
lot about you. A lot of the kids in the

61
00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:21,160
class are jealous even I am jealous sometimes. I mean,

62
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,879
you shower her and praise and you're doing a really

63
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:33,920
good job being a single father. M. She's a wonderful kid,

64
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:45,720
very witty, but a wonderful kid. I am the youngest,

65
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:49,279
I'm the faculty. Yes, a lot of the kids get

66
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:57,839
along with me better. Yeah. I became a favorite of

67
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:03,000
the kids here. Most of the time they come to

68
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:15,920
me with other problems. That's kind of how I know everything. No, no, no,

69
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,319
I don't have any kids of my own. I would

70
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:24,480
love to have children, but I never just I guess

71
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:34,559
got around to it is that you're a rounded out

72
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:40,679
way of asking if I'm single. You're not overstepping, sir.

73
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:49,240
It's fine. Well, I am single. Between having time for

74
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,879
the kids and creating homework, I don't really have the

75
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:59,120
time to hit the dating scene, much less get two

76
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:09,960
hours of sleep. I take it that you are not

77
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,759
on the market. Well, I mean, someone as attractive as you,

78
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,559
I'm guessing you would get snatched up. M. I mean

79
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,480
you do have that whole old guy with a ketap

80
00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:36,519
yell that is attractive. Plus you and your own are

81
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:43,440
quite handsome. M. H. And your daughter is singing her

82
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:46,000
daddy's praises all the time, makes you seem like a

83
00:09:46,159 --> 00:10:01,320
stellar human. I'm off the clock. Yeah, technically my shift

84
00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:14,080
ended up for mm hmmm. No, I don't mind staying late.

85
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:17,360
I usually stay late anyways, to set up activities for

86
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,679
the kids the next day. There at such a young

87
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:26,399
age that if you don't give them something to do,

88
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:35,919
they get bored and it's almost impossible to teach them. Mhmm.

89
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:49,120
You can speak freely, it's fine. Your daughter talks about me.

90
00:10:50,960 --> 00:11:02,120
What did she say? Stop, I'm here favorite teacher, and

91
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:13,440
that's lovely nice, and then I'm pretty. She said, I'm

92
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:25,039
your type. Mm hmm. What is your type, sir? Mm hmm, yeah,

93
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,279
m hm, and I guess I am your type then

94
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:39,440
mm hmmm mmm. No, it's fun to go ahead and

95
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:52,320
take the call. Mm hmm. That me guess your daughter's

96
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:58,120
practice is over. She talks about how she has class

97
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:05,600
all the time. Mm hmm. You should get going. I'll

98
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,159
make sure to send in the seating change request and

99
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,480
make sure that everyone's more diligent looking out for the

100
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:21,240
two's interactions. It's no trible at all, and it sounds

101
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,759
like it really wasn't her problem, so I can't fault.

102
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:37,799
I can't falter m h Besides, her daddy asks so nicely.

103
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:47,399
Mm hmm. No, you should get going. She did complain

00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:52,840
