      er <,> families our family you want to go ahead

  <WSC#DPC248:0010:MT>
      well <unclear>word</unclear> <?>it'll</?> have to be something
      specific like er melinda she's grown up now and er er she'll be
      going to college due to go to college next year

  <WSC#DPC248:0015:FY>
      we haven't decided what college she's going to

  <WSC#DPC248:0020:MT>
      well <.>n</.> what do you think er

  <WSC#DPC248:0025:MT>
      should we send her away to a boarding school or should we keep
      her at college here

  <WSC#DPC248:0030:FY>
      i'd like to but <.>i</.> i think we might have to um <O>tut</O>

  <WSC#DPC248:0035:FY>
      oh i don't know <.>i</.> <.>i</.> i think if we <?>can't</?> <.>af</.>
      afford to send her to to a boarding <latch>

  <WSC#DPC248:0040:MT>
      <?><O>voc</O></?> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC248:0045:FY>
      college i think we're going to have to look at a college here

  <WSC#DPC248:0050:FY>
      but i don't really want her to go east

  <WSC#DPC248:0055:FY>
      i'd like to see her go to a catholic school where <&>15:00</&>
      <&>microphone noise</&> they make her make her er <,> do her
      school work

  <WSC#DPC248:0060:FY>
      oh i suppose they do it <.>at</.> er with east but <,> <O>sniffs</O>
      i think the education at a catholic school is a lot better than
      a with a normal <{><[>school</[>

  <WSC#DPC248:0065:MT>
      <[>or do</[></{> we let her choose where she wants to go or do
      we tell her where to go

  <WSC#DPC248:0070:FY>
      no i think that's up to us

  <WSC#DPC248:0075:FY>
      we tell her where she's to go to

  <WSC#DPC248:0080:MT>
      oh <{><[><unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DPC248:0085:FY>
      <[>she</[></{> might think different <{><[><.>but</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC248:0090:MT>
      <[><?>well</?> i</[></{> think she should have some input into
      that er as well as us

  <WSC#DPC248:0095:MT>
      she's quite comfortable to go to east i think er

  <WSC#DPC248:0100:MT>
      but from from hearing talk back from her she's she's thinking
      that she quite <.>li</.> would like quite like to go to
      wellington er high school <,>

  <WSC#DPC248:0105:MT>
      er they've got a good curriculum there <,> <O>voc</O>

  <WSC#DPC248:0110:MT>
      <?>however</?> it's you know it's getting towards the end of the
      year now and we haven't got that much time to make up our minds
      <?>well</?> she hasn't

  <WSC#DPC248:0115:MT>
      so we'll have to do something er sooner or later about <?>you
      know</?> getting her enrolled in er <.>mon</.> one school or
      another <&>16:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC248:0120:FY>
      <O>voc</O>

  <WSC#DPC248:0125:MT>
      er you've still got to pay her her school fees THIS year yet

  <WSC#DPC248:0130:FY>

  <WSC#DPC248:0160:MT>
      well you might have to get onto onto her or on to moana to make
      sure she er she brings home some homework

  <WSC#DPC248:0165:MT>
      cos she hasn't been doing any spelling she hasn't been doing any
      mathematics so i don't know where the <{><[><?><.>hang</.></?></[>

      is going on <,>

  <WSC#DPC248:0185:MT>

      <&>17:00</&>

      his first period is is religion

  <WSC#DPC248:0265:FY>
      well we've always known that that eru's not interested in in no
      religion

  <WSC#DPC248:0270:FY>
      mind you his report <,> his last report in religion is is quite
      good <.>l</.> a lot better than what it has been

  <WSC#DPC248:0275:MT>
      i'm not <.>concer</.> too too concerned about his religious
      activities at school

  <WSC#DPC248:0280:MT>
      it's <.>his</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC248:0285:FY>

      home as far as his english <{><[>is concerned</[>

  <WSC#DPC248:0310:FY>
      <[>no well he</[></{> doesn't he doesn't talk very much <latch>

  <WSC#DPC248:0320:FY>
      at home

  <WSC#DPC248:0325:MT>
      well maybe we've go to try and get him involved with us a lot
      more than we have been

  <WSC#DPC248:0330:MT>
      <{><[>rather</[> than him going and doing his own thing which
      he's been doing for the last over the past year

  <WSC#DPC248:0335:MT>
      maybe we should take <.>a</.> <.>b</.> <.>a</.> <.>m</.> er a
      much er more in depth interest in him <,> than we've been doing
      in the past

  <WSC#DPC248:0340:FY>

  <WSC#DPC248:0345:FY>
      oh <{><[><.>goodn</.></[>

  <WSC#DPC248:0350:MT>

      sure that they've got to <.>im</.> they've got to improve a lot
      more on their schooling than they have been in the past
