Thank you so much for coming in to see me, Mr. and Mrs. Blah blah. It was lovely meeting you. Or it went something like this: Hello, Mr/Mrs Troubled Child. Thank you for coming in. Your child seems quite capable...HOWEVER he/she needs to pay attention/stop talking/sit down/not hit the other students/do homework/participate in class/read the book/not bring porn into school.
