Parent 1: Hey, have you heard about the new school that opened downtown?
Parent 2: Yes, I have! Actually, we’re thinking about enrolling our son there.
Parent 1: Really? We just did that last week. The teacher advised us (consider) quitting his current school due to the curriculum differences.
Parent 2: Oh, I see. Did they allow him (participate) in extracurricular activities?
Parent 1: Yes, they did. In fact, they encouraged him (join) the science club.
Parent 2: That’s great to hear. Our previous school recommended us (try) finding a place that offers more advanced courses.
Parent 1: Same here. They permit students (take) advanced placement classes, which is fantastic.
Parent 2: That’s excellent. We’ve been suggesting him (explore) different subjects to see what he likes best.
Parent 1: The school also requires every student (wear) uniforms. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but now I see the benefits.
Parent 2: Yes, uniforms can be quite practical. The new school’s program involves students (engage) in project-based learning, which I think will be beneficial.
Parent 1: That sounds perfect. I considered him (be) very talented in hands-on projects, so this might be a great fit.
Parent 2: Absolutely. Can you imagine him (excel) in such an environment?
Parent 1: I really can. By the way, the principal asked us (complete) some forms before the first day.
Parent 2: Good to know. I’ll make sure to do that. The school told us (attend) an orientation next week.
Parent 1: We went to that too. They want parents (be involved) in the community.
Parent 2: That’s encouraging. We expect him (feel comfortable) quickly, thanks to their friendly approach.
Parent 1: I’m sure he will. They invited us (meet) the teachers beforehand, which helped a lot.
Parent 2: That sounds great. The counselor ordered him (submit) his previous school records as soon as possible.
Parent 1: We did the same. They persuaded him (try out) for the school play, which he’s excited about.
Parent 2: Wonderful! I’m glad to hear that. We hope they teach him (manage) his time effectively.
Parent 1: They do focus a lot on that. In fact, they force students (adhere) to a very organized schedule.
Parent 2: That’s reassuring. I think this new school will be a great opportunity for him.
Parent 1: I agree. It’s going to be an exciting year for both our kids!
