▶ Your Answer :
There might be some people who believe that parents today are more involved in their children's education than were parents in the past. However I personally disagree with the idea for two subsequent reasons. First, these days, there are many private academics for children's learning. Second, parents today do not have enough time to spend for their children's education.
To begin with, parents today can easily take care of their children's eudcation by using private education programs. To be specific, Threre are a lot of private acamedics for children so what parents should do is making their children to be comfort in their home. No need to be deeply involved in their children's learing anymore. Let me bring up my personl story as an example. When I was young, I rarely had a chance to do private learing courses this is because there was few acadmic courses. So at that time, my parents had to spend their time to teach me, while current my 10 years-old cousin is enrolled in 3 private acadecmic courses such as enlish, mathmathics and piano so there parents are not needed to be involed in her education that much. What her parents are doing for her education is regulary meeting her teachers to check learning status and discuss study plans.
Secondly, most parents today do not have time to take care of their children. What I mean is that most parents work for company during daytime so do not have time to be involved in their children's learning while most mothers past didn't work and spent time in their home. According to New York Times, statics revealed that about 80% of parents today are having difficulties managing their children's education because of their hard work. it shows that more than 70% of mothers are working because of financial reasons while it was only 30% of mothers about 30 years ago. It clearly shows that parents, especially mothers today do not have spare time to care thier children's education.
In conclustion, there are a lot of alternative ways for chidren's studying for parents today rather than parents past who were tightly involved in their chidren's learning. Plus, most parents today, especially mothers do not have enough time to take care of their children's education because of hard work. For these reasons, parents today are having difficulties to be involved thier children's learning when compared to were parents past.
