PART 3 · LESSON 23 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The meeting changed direction

The parents from the corner school arrive with a priority that the survey didn't capture, and Ana reviews the schedule. Say we had agreed on Wednesday mornings, the parents from the corner school can't come in the morning, that didn't come up in the survey, because nobody asked us we work, in light of what we've heard maybe we need to review the schedule, so two sessions in the morning and at five, with the same ten chairs, and thank you for listening.
