    I just hope it's enough! I also hope you have documentation to back yourself up
    with: dates of specific incidents, portfolio to compare with those of on-task
    students...

    Stick to the facts, and stick to the main issue. Don't allow the parent to
    side-swipe the interview with irrelevant comments or questions. Don't act
    defensive. Be calm and collected, and don't be afraid to repeat yourself
    several times if she's not "getting it."
