Teachers’ strike might just break homes

NAIROBI: Peace is not a guest in my house. We had paid for bliss in the form of school fees only for teachers to down their tools at the most inconvenience of times. My son, alongside children of other Kenyans who subscribe to public education is causing mayhem at home. Though some parents deny, homes are the real hotbeds of terror whenever kids are around. What this particular strike is doing is prolonging the agony parents have to bear whenever schools close.

My house is the perfect example. I deal with the invasion of a thug who calls himself Young Money. Gone are the days fathers spoke and sons paid attention. This cookie suffers from a condition that impairs his ability to listen to instruction. I suppose he could be described as stubborn had the word not been too superficial.
