Shauna is completing her student teaching in a seventh-grade science classroom and has been asked by her mentor teacher to participate in all parent–teacher conferences two evenings that week and two mornings before school begins. What is the correct disposition for Shauna to display in this scenario?

Shauna tells her mentor that she already read about parent–teacher conferences in her collegiate textbooks and has no questions, so she won’t be attending. d.
