Lena: Simon, just one or two things struck me as I've been looking through the file we mentioned earlier.
Simon: Oh Lena, what a surprise (!)
Lena: It seems to me that the notes are a bit sparse and don't really explore the underlying issues.
Simon: I've always found them perfectly adequate.
Lena: Yes, but Simon, I've had several kids come to be this term asking for clarification of various points, they really don't understand some parts of the scheme of work.
Simon: Really? That's news to me, I've had no complaints.
Lena: I mean, you can be a bit intimidating, Simon and they are still quite young.
Simon: Lena, I've been teaching for 30 years now, no discipline issues and very few problems, if I'm honest.
Lena: Well yes, and I respect your knowledge and experience, but none of us is totally perfect!
Simon: OK, I suppose if the kids have complained, it can't be totally comprehensible.
Lena: Look, it's half term next week,  I'll draw up a new scheme of work at home and we'll look over it on Inset when we come back, show Josh too, as he's coming in permanently now.
Simon: Well, OK, I suppose I can be a bit casual and slapdash sometimes, I lack your vigorous approach!
Lena: Well, we need to work together on this since we'll both be teaching it, and Josh too, of course. We all need to be able to input ideas and discuss them.
Simon: OK, Lena, I suppose you have a point! Hope that's the last message now, I've got my favourite book and a glass of wine waiting for me. Coincidentally, I think you should chill out a bit too, Lena!
Lena: I will! See you tomorrow!
Simon: Bye, Lena!
Lena will prepare a new scheme of work and consult it with Simon and Josh as the kids have troubles comprehending  some parts of it and have complained to Lena.
