      Julia's parents didn't match Dr. Ball's smile. From the looks of it, they were in no mood for pleasantries.

      Par for the course, Ball thought.

       Mrs. Owens started talking first. “Hi, Dr. Ball. Thanks for seeing us on such short notice.”

       “Of course,” Ball said. “Have a seat. What's on your mind?”

      “It's been a year since Julia got vaccinated. You think normal would have returned by now, but we're still hearing stories of fights on the playground from Julia. She's scared sometimes to go outside after lunch. That's not normal,” Mrs. Owens said.

      Ball nodded. Mrs. Owens wasn't wrong. The return from the time at home had created a lot of challenges that schools hadn't been prepared to meet. She chose not to say anything or defend the school. Five years in the job had trained her to listen and affirm.

       “How are you going to ever get the kids back on track, Dr. Ball? I'm hearing stories from my colleagues whose children go to Bradley Mountain Elementary. Their kids are already doing work light years ahead of where Julia is in her classes. I'm thinking of starting Julia on some educational software again in the evenings, but I can't even figure out what you all are trying to prepare Julia for here. Things feel all over the map.”

      “And what about helping the children be kind and stop all this fighting?” Mrs. Owens chimed in.

      “It's a good question. I can barely make sure all the children are fed properly and have the right glasses to read books clearly. And some young scholars clearly have extra energy they need a way to channel,” Ball said.

      She instantly regretted speaking. Her jumbled thoughts of self-pity did her no favors.

      Mrs. Owens glared at her. Mr. Owens' mouth hung open. They both folded their arms. Then Mrs. Owens broke the silence.

       “I have no idea how these things are our problems. But I do know that Julia seems really interested in robotics these days. Maybe she could do that during recess?”

       “Or you could at least get the basics right so she doesn't fall so far behind the kids in the other schools,” Mr. Owens said. “She's just gotta keep up or else it'll come back to bite her in middle school.” СКАЧАТЬ
