scorecard Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 On 6/20/2020 at 7:20 PM, BangkokReady said: But it isn't a loan. It's a gift and is being requested to assist in education. It seems reasonable to make it conditional (since the justification is that it is for education and presumably a better future) upon the child genuinely making an effort, otherwise the gift is squandered and they may as well not pay. "Please, it's for her future!!!" **student proceeds to perform badly and squander opportunity** "Gee, I'm so glad I spent my money on securing a good future for her." Why the assumption of so many negatives? If my son (at high school / at uni) asked for some additional funds with some brief explanation which he always had ready to show me, I always responded 'OK are you sure that's enough Baht?' And transferred the money to his bankbook. I never say this money as a loan, I saw it as the support I am responsible to give you and that he is entitled to. I never ever suspected any 'games', If I did I would have carefully commented 'how come xxx' but I never had to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
