IT has been about couple month our daughter has gone local private preschool. The school monthly fees is Ks 35,000 and additional Ks 15,000 for ferry service if parent choose to get. In order to avoid daily tedious job to send and fetch her, my sister took ferry service and paid Ks 50,000 per month as her preschool fees. We don't need to worry about sending her in time at the morning and fetch on time at the evening regardless of weather condition. The ferry car will come and fetch her in front of our home gate and send back at the same place in evening. As Ks15,000 is considered not small amount for a rural town residents and some parent take responsibility for their children's transportation.
Probably, our little daughter notices by time that some of her classmates came to school in their parent's motorbike and go back home in the same ride. One fine day, she suddenly asked my eldest sister to wonder why she cannot go school like some of her classmate go. She added that her friend's parent are sending and taking them at the school gate everyday. My sister was distraught to answer immediately because such question is not expected from a young girl. She then tried to console her by telling that she will send her one day when she got day-off from job. My sister was sharing me the experience and I wasn't feeling comfort to learn that. I dare not to tell my wife who is badly miss her little daughter. We, as a parent, usually underestimate our young children's ability to judge their environment and ignore their feeling. We are giving too much our time in chasing money and we will have to pay back in huge unless we find a proper remedy soonest possible. This incident will make us more determine in returning home before she join government school.
