Dear Teacher,

I am bored reading all your laments in Prithvi’s school diary. How am I supposed to explain why he does all those things?

Firstly, I did the same things when I was in school. In fact, I do them even now. Yesterday, I squirted water on my colleagues from a fake mint packet which had a hidden squirt bottle. Then, I repeated the prank on my husband that evening. Yes, Prithvi was watching me do it.

Dear Teacher,

Please stop being amateur psychologist, asking me which TV serials he watches and whether there is violence in those serials. I watched Ramayana and Star Trek as a child. And no, I did not become an astronaut or Arun Govil after that.

Dear Teacher,

So what if Prithvi chopped off a lock of his hair during the craft class? He says he did it to make 3 girls laugh. I would be worried if he did it to make 3 boys laugh. You say you are ‘confused’ and ‘concerned’ with why he did it. Your patronizing attitude makes me so mad that I want to come there and chop your hair off.

Dear Teacher,

We are good role models at home. Prithvi’s dad is the epitome of peace, calm and politeness. I do not wish to comment on his mom though. But she does not pelt pebbles at neighbours, since you seem to be wondering if he learnt that at home.

Dear Teacher,

I have just one question for you: Where, on earth, did you grow up? Disneyland?
I am frankly, just fed up with your lamenting. Just deal with him – one of the brightest, and adorable kids in your class.

And get a sense of humour please!
