想聊就聊-5.05.5子女教育

Tom played drained¹ today. His teacher called me this morning.

Where did he go?

I have asked him but he won’t tell me. What should we do about this. He is like you. I remembered when we were in the college, you always skipped the classes.

Like me? But you see I am so successful now. if he really likes me, he should be more successful than me in the future.

Stop! Stop! we are talking about the son’s attendance² of classes and study. Maybe we can give him a little bit money to pay him to go to school.

pay him? But he studys for himself, not for you for me for anybody else. I have got a idea. You should stand to him every morning and after class begins, you can go to work.

In that way, I will be late everyday³. Or but let him go to school on school bus.

That is a good idea. Why have I thought about that?

That is because I went to school for each class when I was at school, so now I am much clever than you.
