“Muuuum... si you pay for me tuition, all my friends are going,” this is the request my almost eight year old daughter Tasha has been bombarding me with almost every day since schools closed for the August holiday.

And I have been adamant that I will not pay for her. Why? I mean, the poor girl is just in Class One and there is no solid reason why a child her age should extend school beyond the Ministry of Education stipulated dates. But I understand where the pressure is coming from.
