The principal wants the teacher to consider giving the child a larger part.

| "After all," explains Principal Davis, "her mother is influential in the PTA, and her father is one of the town's most most successful businessmen. It's silly for you to alienate them." | |

| "Give her a bigger part. Life will be easier for both of us, and we may be able to get her parents' support for the next school bond issue. That would mean a raise for all of us." | |
