Just last week, an inquiry made ma reflect and see what is really our role in the formation of young Filipinos and in the holding of our future generation. Through email, she asked me reasons why they should choose Oakridge among the many many schools in the region. And I paused and thought about our role and what we do for the kids and their families. Not thinking about marketing our school, i started talking about Parenting and how God has called us to be parents and as parents how crucial it is to be first teachers. Regardless of the school that you choose, the most crucial influencer in a person's life is his or her parent. When we decided to get married, we committed our lives to have a family and raise a family that will be honouring to God. And so being parents, it is such a huge task to be the best channel of influence and cognitive, moral and spiritual training to our children. We live in the day where parents over expect from schools and over delegate to teachers, yayas and tutors. They do not understand that the very factor to their child's success is they themselves. When you delegate the MOST important things in your life, the MOST important thing in your life will end up crumbling down. We need to go back to God's design - in marriage, in families. After all, God is the inventor and architect of families. If we follow what the rest of the world is doing- delegating, we will end up with children - future generation who were raised by yayas .
