Parents who would go broke trying to get their child a good education

of course i like all parents want the best eduations we can get for our children. that doesn't always mean that paying for it is better. my children are in a public school. my two oldest attended this school which is one of the best school in the town i live in. and now my younger child goes there. you can give them the best you have to offer witout going broke or paying an arm and leg for it. maybe im just lucky that way

I am still single, but I can feel how hard parents nowadays are to provide their kids high-quality education. Well, the education at that time was still affordable and cheap, not like now.I am grateful that my parents are able to send me to good schools and university, and now my sister and her hubby are struggling to finance their son in elementary school, despite the fact that my brother in law comes from the haves family.

I agree with that. Yes, most parents would be willing to sacrifice everything so that they can give good education to their children. This is true not only to the Filipinos but to come races too. I know of an American father who do everything so that his children would have good education. I too would admire parents who are doing that and I hope children would also count that as a great blessing and would pay due respect to their parents.

You have truly said because now that I am studying I can understand how much fees cost of a university so I would advise others to work first and then study with the money instead of every time to ask parents.

Hi Eddyspaghetti, yes we need to thank and admire our parents for giving us good education, though they struggle (bite their toes) fighting their living they do their duty somehow to admire their children get educated. Now a day costs fortune to educate a child. Parents are prepared to beg or borrow to complete their assignment. Like manner children also must donate their like for their parents in their old ages and never shun them to homes.

While my parents definitely did nothing to ensure I got a decent education, I intend to do differently with my own child. I have already begun researching schools and am leaning towards Virtual Schooling for her when she is of age. She is only three years old at the moment so I have a few more years to get all the data together and have the funds ready to get her started on her way to a better life.

Well, when I was in private school my parents had to pay for me. It was back in middle school though. Yet my dad kept getting on my case about it. Before I started going to college I researched as much as I could so my parents didn't have to pay anything for me. When I went community college I researched and filled out a paper that allowed me to study for free over there. Next when I started to go to university I tried hard to get as much grants as possible along with a little bit of loans. They pay me nothing now. I am not paying anything for my kids either. There are many ways to go to good schools and pay very little. A little bit of research can make a lot of difference. I feel the parents who get broke to give their kids the best education are doing it so they can boast to others about how educated those kids will be. But if they are happy with it then we are no one to complain about it.

When I went to medical school, I think my father didnt have enough just to send me there but for me, he was already close to being broke. Its impractical to send children to schools that will require you to spend a lot of money and even have to many debts. I think its not right. I always believe that its better to live within your means.

I want to be fair with my parents though I would say I didn't get the best education I'd like to have. We are only belong to third class family so my parents work everyday to survive. Yet, before I was lucky enough t0 get scholarships not until of my uncle's intervention holding me not to go in that school because of unidentified rumors of danger which is not reliable I think. They just want me to go to a school which offers low tuition fee and was said "Competetive School". I ended up in a state university which has a good reputation before but deteriorating in my days. It was hard to study with few effective facilities such as, old books, small numbers of computers, traditional equipment for presentation so called "bitay-max" in Philippines. To be descriptive a manila paper hanging in front of your prof.and classmates. That was hard and struggling. They say ," a rainbow is waiting after rain ends". I believed it somehow, to be strong and motivated despite of discrepancy.

Yeah my parent do every thing to make us have good education. In many case it make my mom and dad have to work hard but not broke. I see few my relative sell their land to pay their child education. Education seem a big matters for parent this day and they wiling to get broke as long their children have good education.

well, i think my parents didnt resort to selling their possessions but i guess they have to forego of some of their wants in order for them to send all 4 of us to the top schools. of course, without sacrificing the little conforts of living. as for my case, we are just a single income family as i stopped working late last year. we are saving for my 2yo daughter's schooling for next year (kinder). i want her to go to the best school we can afford, either from where i studied or to an even better one if i could find one. i will not scrimp on my daughter's education, but at the same time we always live within our means.

Hi! I understand you because my parents worked really hard to give me a college education. I come from a poor family and both my parents have never even stepped college, so what they wanted is to have a child who have a degree. They worked so hard just to be able to send me to school because they believed they could give me a better future for that and they were right.

I'm actually one of the products of your subject. Until now we're still heavily indebted. But regardless, it had proven that I have one of the luckiest families who where there for me and sacrificed everything to send me to a good school. Nevertheless the title we have earned from school would be an actual evidence of their love and care for their child. And thus giving us a chance of expecting a brighter future not only for me but for the entire family.

You can't blame the parents because they only want what's best for thier children. i guess you can call it the greatest love of all when you are willing to sacrifice everything for your loves ones. Even if the parents is sick they would not buy medicines bcause they would set aside the money for thier childrens education. As for me I was able to finish school and I know my parents work really hard to earn money for my education and I really appreciate that. But there are some children who is not worthy of the sacrifices of thier parents.
