The good old adage that says "children
are the leaders of tomorrow" is actually an indisputable
truth and should not be ignored. As a result of this,
children's education should be taken very serious and
parents should not leave it up to schools alone. Schools
tried their best, but the sole responsibilities lie on
the parents, because they are suppose to give the child
a head start in life than what is being taught in
schools.

Schools are being directed by professional teachers and they
can only perform within the dictate of their
professional ethics. For example if a
child
lagged behind in any subject, it is the
responsibility of the school to make sure that
the child
is able to cope with the subject based on the
teacher's expertise and the school's approved
standard of effective tutoring, anything that
falls out this could be considered poor
performance. This is to say that, parents should
step up and do something to make sure that the
child
is able meet up and pass any of the difficult
subjects - but not going to the school and be
harassing the innocent teachers. |
Parents can help the schools by encouraging the
child to
attend extra classes outside of school hours, with the
aims of helping to boost the school efforts in the
child's education.
For example, in the Asian countries, children's
education is on their top economic priorities, most
students attends extra classes after schools hours and
they all tried to learn English, because they know that
they are going to have a better chance of securing good
job after their education.
But, the attitude of parents towards
children's
education in some western countries is nothing to write
home about. This is due to the advent of technology;
students can close from schools to a place of fun or can
even get busy by spending the rest of the day chatting
with friends - it is not good for a child's future and
parents must do something about it.

I am of the opinion that, it has to do with parent's
attitudes toward the future. Some decades ago, things
have been going smoothly and
children did
not need to worry about the future, this is due to the
solid foundation laid by our founding fathers. But now,
the attitudes has changed children education has been
completely handed over to teachers and parents have
forgotten; that tender motherly love and the soothing
fatherly word of a caring father can do spur that
child to the
next level of educational achievement.
