The Proprietor of a private school in Ilorin, Kwara State, Tade Olayinka, has advised parents not to leave their children’s moral teaching to teachers to handle.

Mr Olayinka who gave the advice in Ilorin on Friday during an interview, said teachers needed parental support to balance children’s upbringing.

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

He said, “Parents must be responsible and teach their children moral values rather than relying on school teachers to do everything for them. It is much easier for parents to observe and impact quickly in the lives of their children than teachers. Charity begins at home. Parents share the same roof with their children so it is easy for them to observe strange attitudes in them and make corrections earlier. Stop leaving everything for teachers to do. It must start from you first as a responsible parent.’’

The proprietor further advised parents to see their children’s training as a necessity and not optional.

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