And, yes, I am upset about my son having to teach the other kids. He shouldn't have to help anyone, it is certainly not his responsibility. And if I was the parent of the child having trouble with maths, I'd be furious to find out that the teacher is getting another kid to help!
Ah, but is it not the obligation of those with the most to help those with the least?
Noblesse oblige.
The school is simply encouraging him to accept the burden which is his to carry.
Some people, like your child, have so much more and, in fact, are so much more, that they can only find meaning in lifting up others, sacrificing their lives in service to others.
Are you not proud to have raised such a son? Does it not fill you with a warm glow as you think of him sacrificing his personal happiness to lift others out of the mire?
