Joys and travails of parents when children start school


A file picture of parents watching as their children prepare for the morning assembly on their very first day at school.

WHEN the school year began, my firstborn, Asha, was enrolled in Year One at a national school. It was such an exciting time for my family.

My 74-year-old father took a bus from Melaka to Kuala Lumpur to be with us on Asha’s first day in school. He even made her an oil painting to mark the start of her schooling years.
