Arnold: true enough. i'll write to her
Nicky: it's him Arn
Arnold: seriously? i'm sure he had a female teacher?
Nicky: he did last year. hes' a new guy at school
Arnold: perhaps this is the problem. do you know how other kids are doing
Nicky: not a clue. i can talk to mothers on whats app
Arnold: good idea. and then perhaps we can plan what to do
Nicky: and talk to Micky. he might need some extra lessons too
Arnold: i bet he says no to that
Nicky: sure, but we might just invite someone to explain to him
Arnold: let's tlak about it in the afternnon, ok?
Nicky: sure and I'll talk to the mothers meanwhile
Mick has failed another maths test. He has a new teacher this year. Nicky will talk to the other mothers. Later she and Arnold will talk about what they can do about it.
