WHOSE FAULT IT IS?

Ma. Luciana G. Maliwat

When things get out of control in a person’s the school or the environment?

As a child is born, he is supplied of what he needs by his parents at home. As he grows, he is fully supported with all what he needs. In short, it is home where the basic foundations of the child are acquired. As the saying goes, “what he sees and he hears is what he does.” The home, the place where a child is loved, protected and supported.

At the age of five or six, or even earlier, the child goes to school. The school teaches the child how to read, write, speak, count and do activities which are needed for his total development. Values learned at home are being polished in school. This time, the home and school work hard hand in hand to help the child develop his full potentials. The sad thing is, parents are too busy with their respective career that they find no time to communicate with the teachers. The child turns to his playmates, classmates and friends whose parents are busier than his own parents. These children go together, play together and do things of their own unknowingly; they bumped to friends who might lead them to different world.

W hen they go home, and attend school, they behave differently and parents and teachers blame each other what had happened to their children. But who is really responsible for this? So when things get out of control, who is to blame?
