Parents-teacher Meeting happens to be testing times

On the Kapil Sharma Show, the two guests Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor were present. Kapil Sharma asked Sonam Kapoor a very amusing query. Has your school teacher ever asked you to bring your father to the parent-teacher meeting? She was in a tight corner as to what should reply at that point in time. This situation happens with famous personalities but ordinary parents face a different situation.

Reaching at the school on the quarterly parent-teacher meeting, one father queried, “What about this ward?” Responding in a short while the class teacher said there was no complaint about your ward. The answer brought satisfaction to the student’s face for two reasons.

First, he had arrived in the plain casual dress and secondly his mark in one subject was not so good. However, the teacher did not care much for his weakness. The student also realised her avoidance which was clear from the talk with his father while moving out of the school’s premises.

The class-teacher was in every meeting seen sitting at window corner which allows a sufficient amount of fresh air into the upper storey class. Instead of directly going to the teacher the parents have to go through the ward’s examination copies initially.

In course of reading the answer copies, the parents learn of their ward’s factual grasp of the bookish knowledge. Afterwards, they approach the teacher for her verbal evaluation. The wards look very frightened as they face their faults before their parents.

It was often seen that the parents have to face odd situations at the meeting. Can you assume of how many thoughts strike the parents at the parent-teacher meeting in a single minute? It may be hundreds, thousands or millions.

The parents definitely face the teacher’s awkward anger owing to their respective wards’ waywardness. Their minds overwhelm with varied considerations before the class teacher. The school’s particular meeting day remains a testing time for all the parents.

The teacher does not fail to go about students’ every complaint on such selected day. The parents remain prepared to have the sense of hearing complaints regarding the ward. The tough moment comes when the parents stand in front of the teacher’s desk with the answer copies.

In point of fact, this position was worth watching. The parents calmly look at the teacher’s changing facial expressions while she indicts the ward. At the meet, one father was dumbfounded at his son’s roguish behaviour. It was not the class teacher but also each teacher has complaints about him.

Amply angered with the student’s mannerism, the class teacher asked his father to approach other teachers also. Describing the student’s extreme mischief she told the father how his ward pierced a tiny piece of paper into a boy’s tender ear. This was a really painful matter for the parents. There remains no control over students’ wrong or mischievous behaviour. Parents complain to the teacher and then the matter is attentively heard by the principal authority at the school. The erring students are not given proper corrective bits of advice by the team of professional psychologists. They were merely warned to correct themselves. The results were such type of students never improve their imperfect behaviour and we laugh at their waywardness in later part of the life.
