Ali joined school at the age of two. He was the earliest among our three children to start school. It was different back when we had our first son, Omar Mukhtar. We proudly educated him from home until he was aged five, when it was compulsory for him to join school.
.
We were planning to do the same with Fatimah too, but she had been requesting us to send her to school ever since she turned two. She adores her Lalajee so much that listening to his school stories made her want to join even more! Because of her enthusiasm, we finally agreed to send her off to school when she turned three. Now, this has lead to a new problem!
.
As you know, Fatimah and Ali are very close. They are like twins - can’t be separated! Every day without fail, Ali would sit by the window, crying his heart out. He refused to eat or do anything until Fatimah came back! I can still remember when Fatimah stepped through the door, the first thing he said to her was “Fatimah, I’m hungry. I want to eat!” As if he was left alone and we were invisible to him! With a heavy heart, we had to let him go, even though he was only two.
.
Now, Fatimah and Ali both go to the same school for three hours a day. Although they are separated in two different classes, they are happy to know that they are both under the same roof! Even though we send our kids to school, we always believe that education should start at home and we as parents must take full responsibility to educate our children!
