To All Dear Parents: A Gentle but Urgent Reminder

Please understand this: the foundation of your child’s behavior, values, and character is not built within the four walls of a classroom, it is built within the walls of your own home.

Yes, schools play a vital role in shaping the minds of young learners. Teachers pour their time, energy, and heart into educating children, guiding them not just academically but morally as well. But what we do at school is meant to supplement, not replace, the values and lessons that should begin at home.

Discipline begins the moment a child learns to walk, speak, and interact with the world. It begins with how we talk to them when they make a mistake, how we correct them when they misbehave, how we praise them when they do right. It is your voice, not the teacher’s, that first teaches them the difference between right and wrong.

Before a child learns to raise their hand in class, they should first learn to say “please” and “thank you” at home. Before they learn about teamwork during group activities, they should have learned about sharing with their siblings. Before they are taught respect for authority in school, they should have been taught how to respect their parents, their elders, and those who serve them every day.

We urge you to partner with us in this journey. Because the truth is: no matter how excellent a school is, no matter how dedicated the teachers are, no matter how many medals and diplomas are earned, if the heart of the child is not nurtured at home, the world will feel it.

Children mirror what they see. If they see love, patience, discipline, and integrity in the home, they will bring that into the world. But if they grow up in an environment of neglect, entitlement, disrespect, or indifference, they will carry that burden into every space they enter classrooms, workplaces, relationships, even their future families.

Let’s not raise children who only know how to pass exams. Let’s raise children who know how to say sorry, how to wait their turn, how to accept failure, how to respect others, how to be kind even when no one is watching.

And yes, we understand parenting is not easy. There are days when exhaustion wins, when patience runs thin, when the world seems too heavy. But in those moments, remember this: you are raising a future citizen, a future partner, a future leader, a future parent. Every word you speak, every action you model, every decision you make leaves a mark on the person your child will become.

So please, do your part. Let us work hand in hand, school and home, teacher and parent, knowledge and values. Let us build not just smart students, but good people.

Because in the end, it is not just grades that matter, it is grace. Not just academic excellence, but emotional intelligence. Not just knowledge, but wisdom. And that wisdom starts in your living room, your kitchen table, your everyday interactions.

Let’s plant the seeds of character now, so we may all harvest a better society tomorrow. 🌱💛

REDUCE THE CLASS SIZE.
The problem isn't always the teacher—it's the number of children they're expected to teach, guide, and nurture all in one day.

Imagine trying to see each child.
To hear every voice.
To address every need, every struggle, every strength.
To give fair attention to every question, every behavior, every silent cry for help.

Now multiply that by 40, 50, sometimes more.
One teacher.
One tired, passionate, overstretched soul.
Facing a sea of faces, all equally deserving of love, guidance, and learning.

This isn’t just about education.
It’s about humanity.
About dignity—for the teacher and the child.

Classroom quality is not measured by the number of chairs filled.
It’s measured by the connections made, the growth nurtured, the hearts reached.

If we truly care about education,
about our children’s future,
about our teachers’ sanity and well-being—
We must start where it matters most.

Reduce the class size.
So no child is just another name on the list.
And no teacher has to break just to hold everyone together.
