Ms. Spencer got up and took the drawing of stick figures off the wall.
“This was the last assignment that she completed,” she said, handing William the
drawing. “Not her best work and no effort put in.”
“I'll talk to her tonight,” William said. “I'll make sure that she knows to work on
her projects during school instead of playing on her phone. I'm sorry.”
“No need to apologize, Mr. Further,” Ms. Spencer responded. “Most kids their age
don't take art class seriously. They use it as a class to decompress.”
“I probably did the same thing back when I was that age,” William confessed.
Ms. Spencer smiled again.
“It was nice meeting you, Mr. Further,” she told him. “Hopefully by the next
conference, Sasha will have some more art on the wall.”
“I hope so,” William responded.
