Don’t allow teachers to train your children – Proprietor

The Proprietor of a private school in Ilorin, Mr Tade Olayinka, has advised parents not to leave their children moral teaching for teachers alone, but to play their parental role in their children training.

Olayinka ,who gave the advice in Ilorin on Friday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said teachers need parental support for their children upbringing.

According to him, most parents rely on teachers to do everything for their children without making enough efforts to train them morally.

“Parents must be responsible and teach their children moral, rather than relying on school teachers to do everything for them.

“It is very easy for parents to observe and impact quickly in the live of their children than teachers.

“Charity begins at home. You parents share the same roof with your children so it is very easy for you to observe strange attitude in them and make corrections earlier.

“Stop leaving everything for teachers to do. It must start from you first as a responsible parent,” he said.

The proprietor, however, advised parents to see their children training as necessity and not optional.

He also called on parents to have time for their children and impact on their lives as expected.
