What does Mrs. Daniels teach? [br] [originaltext]D: Oh, hello, you must be Trac

D: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey’s parent?
T: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels?
D: Yes, that’s fight. Now, just let me find my notes. As you know I don’t actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin, is there anything you want to ask me?
T: Well, yes. To be honest, we’re a bit worried about her last report--she doesn’t seem to be doing as well as she was.
D: Well now, let’s see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she’s finding the work more difficult now that they’re getting near to the exams.
T: I was never good at math.
D: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn’t concentrating very hard in biology lessons.
T: Oh, but she really likes biology and she’s so good at drawing.
D: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking to her friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn’t giving in her homework. Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn’t had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.
T: Yes, we don’t know what to do about it. She doesn’t seem to be interested in school any more.
D: I don’t think we should give up on her. Tracey’s a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons.
T: Yes, that’s part of Tracey’s trouble. She talks too much.
D: Well, nevertheless oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back to a more positive attitude to school work, she’ll do very well.
T: Well, I hope so. I’m very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.
D: Well, it’s not because she can’t do French--she just prefers to that in English! At least she’s doing well in sport. She’s in the hockey team and you know we haven’t lost a single match this year!
T: Well, it’s nice to know she does something well.
D: Oh, come on, Mr. Thompson, let’s look on the bright side.
