A top education expert has called out parents for not doing enough to help their teenage children behave well in school. Dr. Barnabas Addai Amanfo believes that many parents are failing to guide their kids before and during their high school years.
Speaking on a local radio show in Kumasi, Dr. Amanfo expressed his concern about the rising bad behavior in Ghana's high schools. He argued that raising responsible teenagers requires teamwork between parents and teachers. Many parents seem to think their job is done after paying school fees and sending their children away.
The university lecturer stressed that parents need to stay connected with their children's education. He pointed out that simply sending a teen to school isn't enough. Parents should regularly check on their kids, understand their challenges, and work closely with teachers to help them grow into responsible young adults.
Recent incidents of student misbehavior have highlighted the urgent need for better support and guidance. Dr. Amanfo believes that by working together, parents and teachers can help teenagers develop the discipline and character needed to succeed in school and life.
