Enrolling your child in a school, providing him with books and even hiring private teachers for his assignments and then you hands-off your responsibility and stay away from home all day is not enough to bring out the best in your child.
Every child needs a good start in life and the parents have the
responsibility of providing a fantastic platform on which the child could walk
and succeed. Your role as a parent is to
create an enabling environment for your child. This is done by showing
interest and capability of taking care of his needs, making life easy and
meaningful to him by making adequate provision for the essentials – food,
shelter, clothing, books and little pocket monies for his cravings.
Parents are role models to their children whether they know it
or not. Most of the child’s characters
are developed from home and that includes educational inclinations. An
educationally inclined parent will surely produce children who like education.
Every parent must make educating their child a priority in their
homes, so that the menace of Area Boys, Miscreants, Bombers and Terrorists will
drastically be reduced.
Playing your role in your child’s education starts immediately
when the child is enrolled in school, you as the first teacher will take care
of all his needs as the child will depend solely on you for his survival.
You will help to do his home works, make sure his uniforms are clean
and prepare his mind to be successful. You will arrange for transporting
him to and fro school every day, monitor his progress at school and be in
charge of every other thing that will make him succeed in his education.

A bigger role comes after the child’s primary education. This period is the decision making time and it determines whether the child will pursue education as a career or not.

With regards to this, I have always told parents not to start
what they cannot finish when it comes to their children’s education.
Enroll your child in a school where you will not have to starve, borrow from
every Dick and Harry, sell all your belongings and even steal in the name of
paying a child’s school fees.
Many Elites today like Governors, Senators even Presidents of
countries attended public Schools and today they are what they are. Most parents just want to measure up with
other parents in the neighborhood whose children are in private schools without
putting their capability into consideration. You should not put your
children’s future in jeopardy just because the next door neighbor’s children
are in big schools.
Another reason why you should not do such a thing is because the
child who you struggle in this way to educate may feel guilty, frustrated and
uninterested in the whole thing and may want to help himself to avoid
embarrassments and this will truncate his education. A child who hawk wares
after school or do odd jobs to feed the family is not likely to go far in his
education.
It is your child’s right to be educated and you need to play
your own role to ensure that your child gets the education.
