Speaker 3: Right listen, miss Thomas.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: I've been going through actually all of the children's records

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: that will be starting school. And I'm looking at your

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: son's grades from his kindergarten.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: And he did good.

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: Well, No, not exactly.

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: I mean there's been a few I actually spoke with

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: the teacher and who he was under in kindergarten, and

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: it seems like he just really wasn't up to par

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: as the rest of the children.

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: Now, his conduct, now, he talked, but he gets his work.

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: So what else is she saying on that that ain't right?

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: Well, what's what it seems to be, ma'am, is that

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: his grades weren't up to par as the rest of

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: the other children. She did tell me he was a

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: disobedient child.

38
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: No, he's disobedient and talking two different things.

39
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: Come on, okay, well man, listen.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: What we've decided here is we're gonna let little actually

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: do another year of kindergarten.

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: Ain't let him do another your kindergarten?

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: No sign, man, That's that's the only choice I have.

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: Uh No.

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: We got our letter in the mail with our report

46
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: card the week after school's started, and it said on

47
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 4: the back promoted. And if I got to get about

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,639

00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: because I'm telling you right now, we will be in

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: the first grade. Kindergarten wasn't that hard. I'm not sure

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: what they told you about him, but it must be

52
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: the wrong.

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: Don't understanding. He doesn't color as well as the rest

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: of kids. He's all out of he's out of the lines

55
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: when he colored. He doesn't know his numbers completely. And

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: that's kind of what we need when you first come

57
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: into into the first grade.

58
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: When I can show you on this paper he did

59
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040
