A lot of troubles come up when schools are about to open. The real common one (or at least the one from which everyone will hear) is the rise in tuition.
"Ay God!," someone yelled. Parents had attended PTA meetings from the first day of school until school closed. There were even meetings for the vacation school, yet they were not hinted that tuition would have risen.
It is very certain that a rise would come. Come on, that is about 5 to 10 per cent annually.
The trouble comes when the rise is 50%. "Where we will take it from?" my aunty wailed.
Next comes the demand that all uniforms are bought from the school. Since when did they get license as petty traders? Before you know, there is the hike in the prices of school materials - stationery, uniform, and even rain coats and umbrellas.
People who want other observances with t-shirts about that same time will also feel the pinch. Mind you, more than 100,000 P.E. t-shirts must be printed, and the store owners must make the killing.
Anyway, ours is to call for calm.
"You too have children. Feel sorry for the poor. They really do not want to be without!"
