What parents need to consider while enrolling their children in school

There are some things parents needs to considered before enrolling your child into any school either primary, college or tertiary institution. But my write up will be based on primary and college.  These are the few points I want you to put into consideration while enrolling your children which might be useful.

* Your income
* The child's ability
* The child's focus in education
* Area of interest
* The child's weak point
* Environment
* Parental background
* An introvert or extrovert
* Peer group
* Child's disability (if any)

Your Income: I know 99percent of parents wants the best education for their children mostly at infant stage, but you still have to consider your income,  parent whose monthly income is not up to #100,000 shouldn't enroll their children in a school where there school fee is equivalent to 100,000 in a term, remember you have many things to put together, like house rent and shelter,  it will be shameful if your child is been pursued out of the school because you are yet to pay the tuition fee.  There are many affordable schools that you can enroll your child and the child would still perform better.  You don't need to compare yourself with others,  you can enroll your child in a government school and still get a private teacher at affordable charge. Parents should take note of that.

Child focus in education: I know parents won't concede to what am about to say, but you know is the bitter truth that not all children like to study,  some children might be educationally sound but won't take school seriously,  it is the duty of parents to take this seriously by enrolling that child in a disciplined school such as military or boarding schools, parents contribution is needed also by taking your time to concentrate on that particular child,  don't be too strict and don't be too simple,  give such child a time table, like time to play,  eat, serve siesta and time to study, surely the child will improve his or her focus on education.
