5.5 Children’s Education 子女教育

W: Tommy played truant today. His teacher called me this morning.

M: Where did he go?

W: I've asked him, but he won't tell me. What should we do about this? He is like you. I remember when we were at the college, you always skipped classes.

M: Like me? But you see I am so successful now. And if he is really like me, he will be more successful than me in the future.

W: Stop, stop… We are talking about our son's attendance for classes and his study. Maybe we could give him a little bit money to pay to go to school.

M: Pay him? But he studies for himself, not for you or for me or for anybody else. I got an idea. You should send him to class every morning and after the class begins, you can go to work.

W: In that way, I'll be late every day. How about letting him go to school on school bus?

M: That's a good idea. Why have I never thought of that?

W: That's because I went to school for each class when I was at school. So now I am much more clever than you.
