7.	Swaminathan was punished by the teacher for being inattentive in the class. Still, he paid no attention to the lessons and his mind began to wander. Infuriated by Swami’s behavior the teacher writes a letter to his father. What would the content of the letter be?
Answer» Malgudi Primary School 10 December 2019 Mr. Laxminarayan XV/146 Ayyangar Road Malgudi Dear Sir, I am sorry to write such a letter to you regarding your son Swaminathan of First A. Initially he was a good boy and he was very attentive in the class. He was also getting reasonably good marks. But of late I have come to notice that he is least attentive in the class. He likes to sit on the backbench between two boys named Mani and Rajam. I find him talking to both these boys very often. He also passes some kind of written notes between them. When I ask questions he stands and blabbers, not knowing the correct answers. You should ask him to be attentive in the class. We punish him here whenever he is caught inattentive. We have advised him, warned him, caned him and made him stand on the bench. But he is not improving. This letter is to tell you that if he continues to be inattentive in the class, he will surely fail in the final examination. So do whatever you can to bring some sense into him. Let him devote more time to his books and less time to his friends. I will be glad if you can come to the school one of these days so that we can have some further talks about the studies and behavior of your son. Yours faithfully, Abdulkarim Ibrahim Class Teacher
