[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 706497, member: 18958"] CB, I hope your day went OK. I think that supervisor is a frightened and weak person. Remember. We have her number. We cannot expect her to act differently than who she is. That she does not measure up to who you need her to be, is really nothing to do with you. My battery is going dead here so I have to close. If something is said by a parent that you do not understand, I would mark, parent claims attendance status is unknown. You can say, Pardon, Senor or Senora. Su hijo ___ no esta en escuela hoy. Sabes donde esta su hijo (hija)? If they say something that you do not understand, repeat, "Sabes donde esta su hijo? Keep repeating this until they say yes or no. Si or no. If they say si, write down parent chooses to not disclose. If they say no, write: parent claims to not know where the enrollee is. What these words mean is this: Pardon me, Sir or Madame. Your child __is not in school today. Do you know where your child is? This way you ask for yes or no answers and you control the questions. You just note yes or no. If you keep repeating the same phrase, asking for yes or no, you cannot be faulted. The parent will most likely search for somebody to translate. If not, it is not your worry. Write Yes. or No. None of this is your fault. [/QUOTE]
