Kids should do a GCSE in parenting
Kids should do a GSCE in parenting in order to get a better start
in life,so proposed British Poverty Czar,Frank Field.
Mr. Field is already nursing the fears that many children’s lives are
doomed because they now depend on state given benefits all as a result
of their parents’ inability to cater for them.
Making all young children in schools to learn how to raise a family
long before they become fathers and mothers themselves would make them
have the required knowledge of parenthood.
The News of The World newspaper reported Mr.Field as saying in the
report he sent to the British Prime Minister that a formal exam for
16-year-olds would help turn today’s youth into “five-star parents”
of the future.
l love Mr, Field’s observation when he was quoted to have said among
other things that”Our nation has fallen out of love with the art of
being good parents and we have to get back to that. There’s a large
group of families, about 800,000, who run chaotic lives. They’re the
neighbours from hell. We still haven’t really taken the gloves off
with them.”
Mr. Field’s conclusion is the most interesting part of the story.He said
“There’s a genuine desire among young people to learn how to be good
parents,”
Mr. Field’s presentation is good enough and l believe those who are
truly interested in the future of our societies- not just Britain now-
should love this plan.
There is a need to add parenting to the school curriculum in all nations in
order to stem the seemingly uncontrollable teenage parenting which is
economically embarrassing to the societies all over the world.
Having deep knowledge of what parenting is ,I’m sure , will make every
teenager think twice before going into it.
