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.
This is the worst decision that any parents should ever take because they will later regret it in the future. Being poor is not an excuse for parents to not give their children the basic things that can transform their life. Parents who thinks giving their kids the basic things in life is too much or waste of money don't know what they are doing because it is a shameful by the time their children grows up and still struggling to make a better life. It is the responsibility of parents to give children the best , their is no  excuse to give. Even if one lacks money atleast quality education should be the first thing every child must have access to.

I think you are right Rockstarguy, I don't think lack of money should have any thing to do with the parental responsibilities to their children, infact parents should at fast consider the well being of their children and how they can acquire good education as soon as they can because if the children lacks good education they may turn to be a course to the family and a disaster to the nation because going to school would have giving them another level of exposure and their thinking would be different since will be educated.

I think the government needs to look into the proper upbringing of the children because a lot of families are ignorant of giving their children quality education some see poverty as the major reasons but I think if the government should intervene on this matter, every child should be able to have good education even though their families are the poorest family n the nation.




If you don't even have enough money to provide daily meals for children, how will you send them to school, let alone give them a good education? And that is also the problem of many families today, not because they are not responsible or do not want their children to be fully educated, but because circumstances do not allow it. Poverty and lack of money are the cause of all problems in this world, even raising children will be affected if we do not have money.

Parents that have no money to feed and give their children a better education should at first have child birth control so that they won't give birth to children that will cause nuisance to the society. First of all I think before we seek the intervention of the government the parents have the primary responsibility to at least enroll their  children to school, provide food for them before involving the government for assistance and if they have a good paying job I don't think they will be needing the help of the government for their children upbringing.

In the issues of the government rendering assistance to every child to ensure they get good education, I think the government should provide free education and make the environment a good learning environment then the parents can take care of the rest.
