Would You Help Your Children To Cheat In Exams?

If need be yes.

I totally disagree with sweetnini.
Well as for me, l wont want to do that. Less we forget whatever we plant we will surely reap.
If you buy your child's way through school if eventually such child becomes a teacher what will he/her teach the upcoming generations? .

That is even worse.
If i buy my child the paper, the child will have to read for that paper to pass it.
meaning it will learn the stuff.
But if i do it with out their knoweldge am paying to change a fehl to a passand the child will think it passed

ill teach the child to be smart, if ur mates are cheating go wid the flow, if u can get the paprs do it, but i wont buy them my self, but my kids can

How disheartning to read the responses on this post!!! From now on, anytime i hear anybody complaining about how terrible Nigeria is, i will send them to this post to come and see the reason why. Please, what kind of parents are we if we cannot encourage your children to put in their best and be true to themselves? So what if you have a child who is not the best in academics? Every human being has their own unique talents, so why not encourage your children to find theirs and use it to the best of their abilities? Micheal Dell was already making thousands before he went to the University because he recognized his talent for selling things. He eventually dropped out of school and is now a millionaire. How much of an education do Oluchi, Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo and even Dangote have? Yet they have all put their talents to work for them.
Teach your children to put in their very best effort at whatever they do and to be proud of themselves, whatever the result is. If you carry them through school, don't be surprised when they are 40 years old and still coming home to you to beg for handouts.

Heck no!! he/she gon read till they learn it. nobody is dumb some peeps just choose to be because they are very lazy. if the child is an average child and needs extra help. i will help to the best of my ability and pay for lesson teachers and i will also pray for them.

  Consultant l am proud of you, you are the type of parent Nigeria need. If you don't discover your child or the child discover him/herself how will the be proud of themselves the the future. You can arrange extra lesson thats good but but buy exam script or get a special center.

I pity your children even now,
Thats almost like holding two jobs.

You want to tell me after a hard days work , you will still  have time 6 hours every night to sit with your kids reading, What of your wife ? what time are you spending with her

I agree with Consultant and all 'anti-runs' people on this thread -- it is indeed disheartening to read some of the replies in this topic.

My parents insist that if we get a 0, we ought to be proud of it and try harder next time. I'll wash some dirty linen in public if need be to prove my point:

I've always been the brainy one in my family - I started schooling when I was 1 and although I was at the top of my class, my parents had me repeat classes twice in primary school because they felt I was 'too young.' I caught up with my elder brother who's three years older than I am and I'm now two years ahead of him.

Despite advice to pay for him to 'succeed', my parents have maintained that he needs to learn himself -- which I believe is right. I think his problem is lack of concentration, but even then I encourage him.

Sometimes, it's daunting being looked up to by your elder brother instead of the other way round -- he's so proud of me and tells everyone that his younger brother is very very brilliant [I doubt this is true]. I helped him with his work before I left Nigeria and he performed better when I tutored him because I've never believed he's stupid, unlike most of his teachers. I do regret being a bit impatient with him, however.

My conclusion is that I believe it's always good to let children get the experience -- my parents had no qualms about him repeating any class he failed, but I can stand as surety that he can defend himself in anything he's learned, unlike other people who made use of 'runs.'

That's life as I see it -- it's not how quickly you go through the system, it's what you get out of it.

I will certainly not!  helping them to cheat is indirectly telling them it's ok to cheat their way through life. they should take their studies seriously and pass through their honest hard work

Financial help is not cheating. and money won't buy wisdom!!!

By financial help i mean spending money to give the kids a very good education, i.e Lesson teachers if needed, private skools if the public ones they got close by are not that good and by money not buying wisdom i meant you gotta teach someone something  for them to know it. Spending money  buying exam answers and helping them cheat won't make them smarter

consultan make u no mind them them think they know but they dnt!! foolish nigerians!! they are many out there!! ewu oloshisssssss

is there any point at all/anything to gain if you encourage your kids to be cheats and fraud? what will you be if you do that?

@mamaput - It jst the beginning that will be hard,when it becomes part of them. l will not need to be there all the time. l will jst be supervising. and for my wife she will be be fully satisfied, trust me.
