Indeed, a parent's love for their child knows no limits. But there are parents of this friend of mine who believe that if their children finish primary school, all of life's struggles remain in their hands, and they must continue to work hard for themselves to become great people, their parents have not attempted to send them to school or invest in them, or maybe they will change their situation, but no one cares. Now that some of us have graduated from high school, they are regretting that their parents did not send them to school after they finished primary school. I don't think that is love for a child because they do not care about their children's future.
Parents at least have the responsibility to send their children to school up to 9 years old. We know the term 9 years of compulsory education because children cannot be required to find their own way to pay for their schooling. And I don't agree that if parents only cover their children's school fees up to elementary school, they are not responsible for supporting their children's education for future needs, even though their children will replace the backbone of the family when their parents retire or get old. So educate your children until they reach higher education and parents must monitor their children's activities at school so that they are not negligent in other things that are detrimental to themselves.
Providing education to children is part of a long-term investment and of course it will not be in vain if you always supervise and control their growth and development and understand their interests. So parents must be responsible up to a higher level of education for a more focused future. So I don't think it would be a waste if a lot of money was spent just for the sake of the child's education.
