The reason why the parents of the student and the principal meet is because the student is not good in school. The principal is about to tell them their son will fail the third grade.Then the spawn says that he doesnt understand why his son is so awful in school, and asks what they, himself and his wife, did wrong. The wife answers then that her husband is the one that owns a gun. because you can say that the reason why the student is so hopeless is due to family problems His father having a gun.
