It's school conference time! And sometimes conferences require a little translation.
Teacher: Your child's penmanship needs improvement.
Translation: Your child is going to make a fine doctor.
Teacher: Your child is very talkative during class.
Translation: Your child is the most articulate child I've met.
Teacher: Your child is progressing at grade level.
Translation: Your child is at the top of the class.
Teacher: Your child can't sit still.
Translation: Your child's athletic ability is impressive.
Teacher: Sometimes your child calls out of turn.
Translation: Your child is an eager learner.
Teacher: Your child is so sweet.
Translation: Your child is perfect!
I couldn't of asked for better conferences if I made them up myself.

I have interviews this week. I'll have to keep these in mind.
