Conversation between father and mother about child

Mother: I just received a call from Aaryan’s (child) school.

Father: What? From Aaryan’s school? Why would they call now?

Mother: Yeah, even I was shocked. I did not expect them to call suddenly.

Father: Why did they call abruptly? I mean what did they say on the phone? Who was it?

Mother: It was the principal of the school.

Father: Oh my God. The principal?

Mother: Yes.

Father: But our Aaryan is such a brilliant child, he studies well too! I wonder what could have gone wrong in the school. But why did they call?

Mother: They called to tell us that Aaryan has not performed well in the exams and has received low grades.

Father: Oh, I just can’t believe this. He is such a brilliant child!

Mother: But he has performed low!

Father: Okay, tell me. How low?

Mother: They did not inform me that specific. But we will get to know his grades in the open house.

Father: Okay, when is the open house? I would also like to know where is my child going wrong in his studies.

Mother: As his mother, even I want to know that.

Father: But he was studying well at home before the exams. Wasn’t he?

Mother: Yeah.

Father: This is exactly why I am unable to believe how he scored low marks in the exams.

Mother: He spent nearly 3 hours a day before his exams. 3 hours is enough for a kid who is in 5th grade.

Father: Exactly. So, what shall we do now?

Mother: Shall we go to his school and speak to his teachers?

Father: The school has already entered his marks. Now we cannot do anything.

Mother: What are you saying? We will have to go to his school tomorrow and speak with his teacher. She will be able to tell us

Father: Since it is just primary school, I think they will pass him and promote him to the 6th standard.

Mother: And we also have the option to speak with Aaryan.

Father: Yes, these two are the choices we are left with.

Mother: But I don’t understand. Is it the teachers who are not teaching him well or is it him who is unable to understand what is being taught…

Father: The answer to your question can be given by him only!

Mother: Okay so let’s speak with him in the evening and let’s not be harsh with him.

Father: Yeah, we will talk politely. And if we speak politely with him, he will tell us what is the problem…

Mother: I hope so…

Father: Don’t worry, we will sort it out!
