"Dear Teacher, my son says you’re too strict with him. That can’t be true – he behaves so well at home!"
"I understand your perspective. But have you seen him when…"
"No, no, my child isn’t like that! You must be misunderstanding something!"
"Perhaps we should sit down and go through things in more detail. I have a great method for these conversations..."
