PTM Day

Parents-Teacher Meeting Day: Chaos, Complaints, and Laughter 📚👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

It was Parents-Teacher Meeting Day, and the parents arrived at the school, determined to find out just how much trouble their kids had caused. Each couple entered the classrooms, nervously exchanging glances, hoping for a smooth conversation—but knowing their kids, that seemed unlikely.

Class 1: Upper Primary (Nara, Leo, Neo)

Teacher: "So, Leo is... very responsible, but he has a habit of taking charge."

Boun grinned proudly. "That's our boy."
Prem whispered, "Yeah, but maybe too much."

Teacher: "Nara is brilliant—if only she'd let other students participate more."

Fourth smirked. "That tracks."
Gemini shook his head. "Bossy, just like you."

Teacher: "And Neo... well, Neo is very creative, but... he likes to invent his own rules during group work."

Jeff laughed. "Sounds familiar."
Barcode nodded knowingly. "He gets it from me."

Teacher: "They work well together—when they're not turning assignments into leadership battles or games."

Class 2: Middle Primary (Park, Aiden, Storm, Haru, Finn, Fern)

Teacher: "Park has a lot of energy, and... he tends to turn math class into story time."

Phuwin sighed. "I knew it."
Pond grinned. "He's just creative."

Teacher: "Storm... is competitive, but he tries to win even in activities that aren't competitions."

Sea groaned. "Of course he does."
Jimmy chuckled. "I told him to go easy."

Teacher: "Haru is sweet, but she likes to debate with everyone—even during silent reading."

Dunk raised an eyebrow. "Just like me."
Joong smiled. "You're not helping."

Teacher: "Aiden loves to organize, but he tries to 'manage' the other students during playtime."

Prem gave Boun a knowing look. "Mini manager, huh?"
Boun sighed. "He takes after you."

Teacher: "Finn... is usually well-behaved, but sometimes he just zones out in class."

Gemini whispered to Fourth, "I blame all the late-night stories you tell him."

Teacher: "And Fern... well, she's a bit of a dreamer. She once spent an entire science lesson wondering if clouds can have feelings."

Khaotung smiled proudly. "That's my girl."
First shook his head, hiding a grin. "This is going better than I expected."

Class 3: Lower Primary (Hana, Ethan, Kai, Ken, Cherry, May, Minn, Misty)

Teacher: "Hana is charming, but she likes to turn every group activity into a fashion show."

Phuwin laughed. "She's already building her brand."
Pond added, "And our bank account will pay for it later."

Teacher: "Ethan is curious, which is wonderful—except when he keeps asking why fish don't need blankets."

Earth sighed. "We warned him about that one."
Mix stifled a laugh. "At least he's thinking."

Teacher: "Kai and Ken... are tricky. They swap places so often that even the other students get confused."

Tay grinned. "That's my boys."
New groaned. "We're doomed."

Teacher: "Cherry is delightful but... she treats every lesson like it's a royal decree."

Zee smiled. "She's just confident."
NuNew smirked. "Like someone else I know."

Teacher: "May and Minn are inseparable, but they tend to get carried away—like when they decided the guinea pig enclosure needed a disco ball."

Boun facepalmed. "Why am I not surprised?"
Gemini laughed. "They have taste!"

Teacher: "And Misty... well, Misty is wonderful but insists on hugging everyone. Even when they don't want it."

Sea chuckled. "That's... very her."
Jimmy sighed, smiling. "At least she's kind."

The Cafeteria Coffee Break: Parents Compare Notes ☕

During a break, the parents gathered in the cafeteria, sharing stories about what they had learned.

Pond: "Apparently, Park is telling stories during math class."
Phuwin: "At least he's not bored."

Jimmy: "Storm turns everything into a competition."
Sea: "He even raced me to the car this morning."

Joong: "Haru debates during silent reading time."
Dunk: "Well... good. She'll make a great lawyer."

Fourth: "Finn zones out during class sometimes."
Gemini: "Sounds like me in high school."

Boun: "May and Minn tried to install a disco ball in the guinea pig cage."
Prem: "We're raising interior designers."

Tay: "The twins are swapping places again."
New: "We're never going to survive middle school."

Earth: "Ethan thinks fish need blankets."
Mix: "We'll have to set him straight."

Zee: "Cherry rules the classroom like a queen."
NuNew: "That's my girl."

The End-of-Day Wrap-Up 🏫✨

After the meetings wrapped up, the parents gathered their kids from the playground.

Haru: "Did the teacher say anything about me?"
Joong: "Only good things, sweetie." (Mostly true.)

Park: "Can we have ice cream now?"
Pond: "Only if you promise no more stories during math."

Kai (to Ken): "They didn't figure us out again!"
Tay groaned. "They're unstoppable."

Finn: "What's for dinner?"
Gemini whispered to Fourth, "We need wine. Lots of it."

Misty: "Can I hug the guinea pig one more time before we leave?"
Sea: "We really need to talk about boundaries."

As the families drove home, the parents exchanged tired but amused glances.

Pond: "Well, at least they're all... unique."
Phuwin smiled. "We wouldn't have it any other way."

And with that, Parents-Teacher Meeting Day ended—until the next report card brought even more surprises.

The End—Until Next Time. 🎒✨
