parents and education

[.HellzPori.]

here's a debate for u.
sometimes ... actually most of the time, parents expect their children to be in a certain profession when they grow up. for example: doctor, engineer, architect etc.
so, my question to u all is, do u think it's okay for a parent to do that? or should the children be given the opportunity to choose their own path in life?


p.s. i have an odd feeling that this thread exists already.

obviously.Parents shouldn't decide what's good for us especially in these times.

omg. finally u said something that we both can agree on! i thought we would always be rivals in the Debate Section hehe.
anyway, i'll elaborate on my answer later.

haha,true.anyways I am tired of my mother and aunts saying how they will have me shipped off to bidesh so that I can become an engineer and earn billions there.I happened to have a broader view of life and some people's talents and potential have gone to waste for such actions on part of the parents.

i agree actually. my best friend Sarah, she wanted to be an interior designer nd trust me, i've seen her work. she really has the potential but her parents r forcing her to get into medical which is a completely different field nd she pretty much dislikes it a lot. she also regrets it cuz tar onek ichha chilo omon korar. but her parents r like interior designer howa naki respectful profession na nd i totally disagree. cuz interior designers na thakle i guess amader bashar floor plans keo banato na. it would have been kind of tough, wouldn't it?
nd moreover, even if someone is a taxi driver, we should respect them cuz they're contributing to the society nd we need them right?

yes I was talking about that.I read of a similar case in a mag.But there are some parents who do allow their children to choose their own paths though which I have seen.

nd moreover, even if someone is a taxi driver, we should respect them cuz they're contributing to the society nd we need them right?

not only taxi drivers and rickshaw pullers this list of non-respectful professions include careers in police force,military,etc.

parents der expectations thakbey obviously.

kintu force kora uchit nah. as FR said it just wastes real talent.
jeyta tey bhalo, jeyta tey interest achey sheyta tey ee mon diwa uchit
not right for parents to choose sumthing and grave it in stone, but they can suggest, and thik moto chinta korey we shud decide.

minds always change. u never kno, one might say "ammu abbu ee right chilo."
others might regret saying "keno j kotha shuntey gasilam"

lolzzzzz amader family tey kew force korey nah.
everything is implicitly understood. im sure its like that for many families... ager thkhey ee manush emon ekta profession choose korey jeyta tey elders ra o happy, and ora nijey ra o happy. lolz

parents er thikhey ono ra, bairer lok jon beshi kotha bolley.
bhat kheye r kam pai nah tau. they like saying khucha mara stuff and make fun of ure interests. lolz

amarey kew kichu jigesh korley amio boley dey:
