    Ms Donnelly is a parent we don't see enough of in this world. I couldn't stop smiling as she put a very clueless teacher in her place. And it isn't Mrs Smith's fault. She's merely a product and now a tool of the very system hopefully Jonathan will one day have the freedom and independent thought to shake up and change. Such a great play!

    As a teacher, I appreciate a good critique of the American education system. And this, quite frankly, is an excellent one.

    A fantastic parent teacher conference that so many will be able to relate to. A very funny piece about expectations and the pride we feel for our children's work even if it didn't make the cut. Well done!
