Teacher: I’m sorry to say that Sarah is not doing well in class. These days, she’s got her head in the clouds.
Dad: Ms. Turner, please keep this between us. But Sarah’s grandmother just passed away.
Teacher: I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences.
Dad: That’s why she’s been under a lot of stress recently.
Teacher: I see. I’ll take her situation into consideration.
Dad: Yes, please try to put yourself in her shoes.
