that was wrong.

False.
The correct pronoun agreement is important in order to maintain clarity and coherence in writing. In this sentence, there is an error in pronoun agreement. The pronoun "his" is used to refer to both "Greg Ridley" and "the principal," which creates confusion.
To correct this error, we need to use a pronoun that agrees with each noun it refers to. Here's the corrected sentence:
"The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood as he sat on the stoop of his building. His father's voice came to him again, first reading the letter that the principal had sent to the house, then lecturing endlessly about Greg's poor efforts in math."
By using the pronoun "Greg's" to refer to Greg Ridley and adding an additional "the" before "principal" to make it clear, we have achieved proper pronoun agreement.
