Very simple. Somali parents don't help their kids at home, sofaha uun bey ka qayliyaan....' War orod o homework kaaga dhigo' 'Naa barito miyaadan imtixaan leehayn? orod o akhriso television ka kac'. Indians on the other hand sit with their children, go over what they studied in school and make sure they complete their homework. Really that is all it takes to prosper in school...having aabo iyo hooyo that sit with their kids to reinforce what you've studied in school for that day.

We can blame the parents a little more for placing higher expectations on the girls and demanding more from them.I will never understand why they think let the boys do whatever they want is doing them any favors.From young age,they are given little or no responsibilities and they are expected to somehow be ambitious and responsible young men? They cant and see lost.

Mainly because education makes them not wanna settle for less and u cant use ''but i am the man and feed u'' card coz she can get her own bariis and caano?

Yeah,i see why that would bother some guys.


Serene. Yeah.Walahi i really wish the recent parents realize where they are doing wrong and fix it.They are setting up their precious sons for failure and they were never consulted in the matter.

I think the fertility rate is another reason; there are simply many kids in somali households

Xplaya, education is a blessing to everyone and every society.Women who are argumentative and stubborn are what somali families need; not the softie type whose views on life is based on illusions.

"the more they think they are educated the worst they become big mouth, loud, argumentive and stubborn like a donkey."

Lamagoodle. Family planning is something very personal and i cant really even bring it up in a discussion with Somalis.

Why is that Tuushi? If we are to do something about the problems of somali families in the diaspora, we cannot neglect family planning.
