I'm a Spanish teacher and said I would translate for a conference. It was the longest (almost 90 minutes) and most awkward (the parent has utter disdain for the teacher) conference I've ever been a part of.
Next day's lunch was definitely on my colleague.
I am a special education teacher. I often need a translator at my meetings. It's great when everyone is happy... you are a good person for helping out!
Thanks @hanshotfirst - glad to meet another teacher on here!
