Script:
A: Today we’re going to talk about private schools again. If you remember, last time we had teachers from three secondary schools in our capital, Tashkent, here in our studio. Now our guests are a couple from Fergana, Mr. and Mrs. Xo‘jaeva who are the parents of two children: a son and a daughter. Is that right?
Mrs. Xo‘jaeva: Yes.
A: How old is your son?
Mrs Xo‘jaeva: He’s 15.
A: And he’s a pupil ...
Mrs. X: ... in Secondary school number 43, the 9th class.
A: As parents, are you satisfied with the standard of education your son gets at school? Mr X: Well, on the whole, yes. But ...
A: Ah! So there are ‘buts’.
Mr X: Well, we’d like our son to be able to use all the modern technology at school. Unfortunately his school’s got old computers and just one teacher in Computer Studies. So when the teacher isn’t at school none of the pupils are allowed into the Computer Room. They can’t work on their own.
Mrs X: I feel sorry for my son and his friends because they sometimes use very old books and there aren’t enough of them in the school library. But apart from this, the school’s good, and Aziz, that’s our son, loves it.
A: If you had a private school in your city, would you send your son to it?
Mr.X: We would, if it were a good school, of course.
A: And ‘good’ means ...
Mr X: Modern, with smaller classes, experienced teachers ...
Mrs X: ... friendly teachers. And it should be warm in winter.
A: But education in a school like that would cost a lot of money.
Mr X: We’re prepared to pay for our son’s education. We think it’s more important than buying him music and new clothes and ...
A: And does Aziz understand this?
Mr X: I think he does. He’s a clever young man.
A: What about your daughter? Would you like her to go to a private school too?
Mrs X: Let her grow up first. She’s only four.
