Not to throw my dad under the bus, but i wished he handled my academic performance the way yours did. Mine made failure look like a disease, and would throw derogatory remarks like pieces of candy to drive his message home.
Dialogue is certainly underrated in this clime, when it comes to addressing academic performance of students by their parents/ guardians. Even when students are putting in effort to change the narrative, is probably out of fear for their folks.
I enjoyed your piece.
Thanks a lot for reading and appreciating my post. I’m sorry you had to go through this, most times parents do this ignorantly because that’s the only way they were taught and they mask it with tough love. I only hope that we become better parents to our future children.
I don't blame him at all. I have come to the realization that their actions were just a product of their own childhood reality.
