Dear editor,

It is wrong for any parent today to keep children out of school. Primary school is free for all, so take children to school. I am saying this because I found some children out of school and parents had only lame excuses to give me.

They said that they couldn’t afford to buy extra-demands from school like uniforms, books etc. Parents have to work and be able to meet these costs. They cannot be spoon fed in everything.
