Messages
Written in Dehreen. Sent on WhatsApp. Kept on record.
Dehreen drafts, a person at your school reads and edits, and only then does a message go to a parent on WhatsApp. Every word sent and every reply stays on the child's record, not on someone's personal phone.

Parents talk to the school, and the school answers as the school.
Every word is kept.
