A better future for our kids!

I'm a parent of 2 school going kids and I don't know if this is anyone elses experience but here is mine. My belief is that all kids of South Africa deserve a good solid education that builds them up to becoming good adults that will make a good difference in this world! After all they are our future! But sad to say education here is not up to scratch because in our public schools that cater to the underprivileged kids emphasis is put on paying school fees by a certain date or you will be penalized with an added amount by the school. How does that make sense, if a parent cannot afford to pay by a certain date - how does increasing the fee help? What happened to free and fair education for all in our Rainbow Nation? As for most of the teachers it's just job with a pay check at the end of the month , nothing more! But they will put on a show in front of parents but how they really speak to our kids and treat them is shocking! Your child is broken down and victimized if you the parent asks any questions or make any suggestions. Treated badly to the point where kids hate going to school! Kids are practically shoved out the school gates promptly at days end . Here in Newlands there's a new trend the kids must go a complete road away from the school to wait for their transportation. Even if that road is full of trucks and taxis and constant traffic no pavements for kids to stand safely! And the faculty just don't give a damn about the safety of our kids , they drive off in their posh cars that get washed and detailed at school with school water and supplies, that is added on the budget breakdown as necessary expenses "SO HENCE THE SCHOOL FEES INCREASE ! Children and parents are treated differently and the race card is the scape goat in the room. Yet the Dept of education is aware of the situation, nothing has been done. Because of this I'm seriously thinking about home schooling my kids as I seem to be the only one with their best interest at heart. Really disappointed in our education system. Why this is allowed ? Is this the future of our kids? I can't be the only one with this sentiment?
