I am going office

hi professor, the thought of respect subhee shows is one really nice example that the parents are teaching the little girl very well. i would never like to see children being unrespectful to elders. but that is not the issue, i know. private schools are very expensive too here. and i say there is a need.. ( a real need) for public schools to double time to reach a better standard than what they have at the moment. ann

hi professor likeI say kids have that wonderful honesty God Love them. the parents around here who send little ones to day school pay quite a bit. we had to send our own son to private schools when he was young as he was a gifted child but we got a grant from the government for poor parents who needed to send their children to special schools for various reasons. He was a brilliant child far ahead of others and in his senior high school year he also finished freshman year in junior college.

In Sri lank there are good private schools. But there are government schools that much good. to get addmitted in a government school we need no money. but getting addmission is very difficult. in sri lanka all the children (rich and poor) are given free books and one set of uniform. so education is not a problem in Sri lanka. yes realy I am proud to say that. here in germany, here each and every school is considered good. no one can say this is good or this is bad. all are good schools. the education is free here. Parents have to buy books, cloths and all the necessory things. it is a bit hard to pay. my children always ask money money

When my daughter went to preparatory school, it was for a fee affordable to my husband and i because we both work. We sent her to a Catholic school run by nuns and is just a walk away from our house. Her nanny would go with her to school and would go back for her after 3 hours. It went that way until when she was old enough to go by herself, and maybe that's when she's already in grade 4.

She's such an obedient child. I'm sure she will grow up to be a fine lady. In my country, most of the schools here are funded by the government. And the children here are given book loans by the school. So that means, we as parents don't have to buy the text books anymore, but we still need to buy the workbook and exercise books for the children's use in school which costs about less than 150 Malaysian Ringgit. The school fees will costs about 32 Malaysian Ringgit, which covers for the test papers, insurance and some other stuff and another 20 Malaysian Ringgit for the Parents Teachers Association. And all that doesn't cover the school uniforms and school shoes. For private schools, it will be very costly as the children won't be able to get the book loans, and the monthly fees for private schools would probably be like 250 - 300 Malaysian Ringgit. As for transportation, I will send my kids to school myself cause the school is just a 5 minutes drive from my home. I think it really doesn't matter which school they go to, so long as they'll get their education. It really makes no difference actually cause whether they can study or not is really up to the individual and the parents' role in getting involved with their children. Nice discussion, Professor!

Kids are indeed innocent. They love to imitate older people. They're still in a stage were they want to discover new things.

Private schools are very expensive, but necessary. The government run schools in the U.S. are terrible. The main reason for these deplorable conditions is the teacher's unions, which care nothing for children or their education.

That is very sweet. She obviously is very inspired by her father. here in the UK, school and education is free right up to the age of 19. After that there are usually loans available and its costs at the moment about £3000-£5000 a year for a degree (you might want to use www.xe.com to do the conversion for your own currency). Most people here travel to school by car, bus or walking. sometimes on the train if they are attending a university.

hello dada, That's always the parents problem here too,tuition fees soaring high increases each year. School fees depends on each level and school standards. Private schools range from 5thousand rupees up to 50thousand rupees a year (private to exclusive...not to mention universities) School service ranges from 500-1000 rupees per month (depends on the distance) Some school fees not including books and uniforms as well. Hope your health is doing fine dada

This is a very great thing your son is teaching your granddaughter! I used to tell my children "school is your job". Take charge of your education. Most private education here costs a lot. Transportation is separate, that's why my mom chose to live close to our school when we were young so we could walk.
