00:00Okay, so you're telling me that you think my kid...
00:01I'm trying to put the window down a little bit, because I can't.
00:03All right, all right.
00:04So you're telling me that you think my kid's got learning difficulties?
00:07Just the whole homework, even the name, the date, everything.
00:13One second, you sent me an email, yeah, and I've come from work, all right, yeah,
00:16to say, don't Mr Thomas think that your child might have autism or ADHD or dyslexia or whatever.
00:25Can you please come and discuss about it?
00:26Yeah, I've come to the school now, and I still don't understand why you think my kid has learning difficulties.
00:31I do appreciate, it's a very sensitive subject, and I'm always very careful and very mindful
00:38of what I say to a parent, but the homework, the way it was presented, the maths homework,
00:46the way it was presented, all the questions, all the answers to the questions were wrong.
00:53I mean, literally, I mean, even just the ones that I, he's definitely on the level that
00:58I've assessed him on, and it didn't, it didn't, it just didn't add up to, to the, it was just
01:05all wrong.
01:07Sorry, what's so funny?
01:09I don't really understand.
01:11I'm just trying to, I'm trying to express my concern.
01:13I know, I know, but...
01:15I think you need to take this a bit more serious.
01:16I know, but Arthur didn't do his, he didn't do the homework, I did it.
01:20Sorry, sorry?
01:22I did Arthur's homework.
01:24You did, he said, why are you doing his homework, for one?
01:26Well, no, because he said to me yesterday that, like, oh, like, it's late, so I did it for him.
01:32Um, I don't think that you should be doing his homework, and I think maybe, if that is
01:39the case, I think you need to maybe go and have some sort of assessments done yourself,
01:44if you've thought about that.
01:45No, no, no, no.
01:47I'm being serious.
01:48No.
01:48I mean, it's, it's, I don't really think, for one, that you should really be doing his
01:55homework.
01:55Yeah, I know, but like...
01:57You should make sure he has time to do his homework.
02:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but like, he told me yesterday, oh, Dad, I've got homework in
02:04for tomorrow, and like, and like, yeah, like...
02:06I think as a parent...
02:07He forgot, I forgot as well, so...
02:09Right, okay, right, okay, fine.
02:10So, as a parent...
02:12No, no, no, I don't need, I don't need lessons in parenting, it's just, it's just a bit funny
02:17now, because like, you could have told me on email, on the phone, it was about the
02:20homework, and then like, I could have told you on the phone...
02:23No, I, I, I, I prefer to see someone in person, to be honest, it's a little...
02:27Yeah, but it's clear that like, he, he, he's alright, you know, it's clear that he doesn't
02:31have learning difficulties.
02:32Well, you say he's alright, but you're actually doing his homework for him, and he's...
02:36Yeah, but yeah, but only this last piece I did for him, because...
02:39Right, okay, well, I strongly would suggest, if you, yourself, did that homework, and you...
02:47I did it quick, I didn't think about it.
02:49Right, okay, well, I, I, I still would urge you to go and, um, seek, seek some sort of support
02:56or help, because that homework was, I've never seen anything like it, I'll be honest
02:59with you.
03:00Well, it's, it's not, it's not nice to say, he's only eight years old, you know.
03:03No, but he didn't do it, you did.
03:05You did it, I don't really understand.
03:08For one, you should be telling him, he needs to do his own, own homework, Mr. Thomas.
03:13Yeah, I know, but, yeah, but, yeah, but he's only eight.
