After the 10 day vacation, we received a school billing for each Zarelle and River. Whew-- The price of Education! Can't complain. My daughter is doing well. Although she is the youngest in their class, I know she is doing well for her age. But of course, when I think about NO CLASSES, I begin to think how much loss there is. I feel sorry for those students who always feel happy and liberated if there are no classes. True, it will be a break from the usual routine in school and at home, but it still does not justify the cost of education, Specially now that everything is expensive. My goodness! What are these students thinking? That money grow on trees???
When I was a student, yes there were times that I rejoiced whenever there are no classes. But that's usually during breaks--- not emergency breaks and such! When we think about lost schedules but the cost that needs to be paid is still the same, students should think again. Who is winning, and who is losing? After all, education is a business. A business for the school owner, yes. But it is also a business for the parents and the students themselves. Why? Of course, going to school is an investment. It is a premium or a capital that one can bank on after graduation. Students, I guess for now you will not understand this, but when you become parents, you will understand what I am talking about...
Tomorrow is another unplanned holiday. But of course, it is to join the nation in mourning and taking the former President to her final resting place... We are in mourning, so I hope you will not rejoice again as there is NO CLASS tomorrow...
