Mother: Shreya, why are you not doing your homework?

Shreya: I don’t understand the questions. They are really difficult.

Mother: A question is only difficult until you know how to solve them. You need to practice to get better.

Shreya: Mom, how am I supposed to solve the questions when I do not even understand them?

Mother: If the lesson was not clear to you why did you not ask your teacher about it in the class?

Shreya: I tried but there was no time left after the class and she went home early.

Mother: Well that’s bad. She should clear the doubts of the students before giving them homework.

Shreya: She rarely does that. She thinks, asking questions in the middle of the class creates disturbance so she tells us to ask them after the class, but then we don’t get time after the class.

Mother: I should complain to your principal about it.

Shreya: She is a very good teacher otherwise. Anyway even the principal can’t do much about it because we have many topics to cover in very little time. The school hours are not enough for clearing doubts.

Mother: That would always create problems for the students then. I can help you but I also have my own work to do. It’s not possible for me to manage everything alone. Clearing your doubts should be the responsibility of your teacher. That is the proper way.

Shreya: What am I supposed to do for now?

Mother: I will help you this time but I will talk to your teacher later and make sure that she clears all your doubts in the class from the next time.

Shreya: Okay mom!

Mother: Go bring your textbook. We will begin now.

Shreya: Yes mom!
