Parent: I want you to look at my child's matrix and correct it.
Me: As I have told you, every day, for the last 10 days, your child's matrix does not need to be corrected. They qualified as G/T.
Parent: I want the report card section fixed.
Me: You did not submit a numerical report card when you applied. They qualified as G/T without it. There is nothing to fix.
Parent: I gave you a numerical report card last week.
Me: Yes, I understand. However, they qualified as G/T without the report card. There was no mistake made on the original matrix. There is no correction necessary.
Parent: I want you to add in the report card score.
Me: I'm very sorry; no.
What the parent was asking, whether they realized it or not, was for a G/T Admissions Committee to meet to verify a matrix on a child that was already deemed as G/T. This would have been an unnecessary waste of time for everyone involved.
The parent was persistent, I'll give them that. They asked multiple people, several times per day over a two week span. The answer remained no.
