Welcome to the parent teacher conference. So what is your child's name?
Megan Jones.
Let's see, um, she missed the last couple of days has she been sick?
No, she's been having some problems with the other kids in your class.
Well, you know, junior high school is the difficult time, but she just needs to speak up a little more in class.
No, it's more than that. Some of the kids in your class have been joking around with her a lot about her appearance. And then the other day, you didn't help at all. She said, you commented on her blouse and jeans. Saying they were from the nineteen seventies.
Well, I was just kind of joking a little bit with her.
Yeah, that's what you think, but the other kids follow your example. In fact, one of the kids took a picture of her with their phone and posted it on Facebook with some really mean comments.
I'm sorry if I hurt her feelings, could you see if you can bring her to school tomorrow? Uh I'd like to apologize and see what I can do to improve the situation.
Ok.
