IF YOU ARE PARENT?

[africanqueen]

If youre a parent would you pay your child's way through school? E.g. pay for external exams (the so call special centre)?
More parent want their children to make their papers at a sitting or promotional exams, because of this they end up paying for their children's exams. They pay people to sit for exams on behalf of their children, pay for special centres, settling Lecturers to boost their grades. What will you do?

If one decides to become a parent, then one is duty bound to help their child
to reach their full potential and goals.

Granted there are always exam bills and fees to be paid.

That is a Parents duty. It is not a choice.If they can afford it good,
if they cann't then they should be morally strong enough to say

My son, My daughter, Money is hard to come by. Encourage your
child if old enough to get a job. They too can save up to contribute to
their educational goals.

As for Bribeing people to sit your child's exams that is just soo wrong.

You don't derive any pleasure or satisfaction from someone else writing
your papers for you. You will always know it was never your own work.
Hopefully you will also realise you are teaching your child to lie just to get
their own way.

Please note I use (you) in addressing the general audience of readers, and not
suggesting for one moment you have or are doing this.

And if push comes to shove..

I will ensure my child knows that exams are just one of those things.
Not everybody has to be a high flier or academic.
It takes all sorts to make the world go round.

Incidentally this is just how I raised my children o.
They have never been afraid to tell me they have not done well,
or think they have not done well in an exam or course work.

One door might be shut but another will be open

HELL NO!!!! dats just too sad cant believe some parents do that 4 der kids thats just insane. wat do they gain from it? rejoicing over a failure (i call it a failure cos i think dats wat it is).... parents are meant 2 show god example but imagine doing that, hw do u think u'll be perceived by ur kids n they'll never be serious cos u'll always be der 2 bribe, n sort their mess out for dem 2...... mehnn tahts bullshit if i was a parent, i'll never do a thing like that. if my children can not pass their own exams then so be it, they'll keep on repeating until they pass if dey really wona go 2 school or dey'll av 2 quit sch n find something 2 do den wen dey think dey r ready 2 study n pass, then, they'll go back...

in this world, noone can live another person's life 4 'em so....... well dats my own opinion didnt mean 2 offend a

We all most likely said an emphatic no when we read this article the first trime but on second thought some people would say why not? Why waste time and money waiting for the child to pass on his own? But I've only got one question for you all who thought that at the end of the day,can u honestly call that child fulfilled? My honest opinion is that people should not take on the responsibility of becoming parents until they are willing and ready to shoulder the responsiblity cos one of the worst things to do to a person is to misdirect him and it's even worse when it comes from the parents.  We've seen morally strong people make this mistake and said I'll never do that, but what steps have we taken to prevent ourselves from falling into their shoes? Think about it.
