You have a certificate, why don't you show it off?

Sitting leisurely on the weekend, Ms. Loan surfed social networks while talking to Mr. Nam:

- At the end of the year, schools summarize, parents compete to show off their children's certificates online. Huyen's family has two talented children, both beautiful and good at studying. Look at them, school certificates, English award certificates, and even art awards... Looking at their children makes me jealous.

- Our son Hoang also has some certificates of merit, take a picture of it and post it on Facebook to be equal to his siblings.

- Other people's children get this and that award, but our child just "has progress in studying", so why show off and be embarrassed?

- It's a certificate of merit. I'll post it so everyone knows my child has one too - Nam said with a smile.

- No need to be mean to me. I see people showing off their certificates and their children's report cards these days, I'm just a little jealous.

- In your opinion, is it okay to show off your child's academic achievements on social networks?

- I don't see any problem, children are the most valuable assets of parents, why not show off when they are good? "Mom praises her for singing well" is understandable.

- Do you think we are imposing on our children? The main goal of going to school is to give them knowledge to enter life, not to make their parents proud. Moreover, many parents show off their children, unintentionally putting pressure on other families who are also chasing after academic achievements. Not to mention, when parents show off their children's certificates and report cards on social networks, many people still leave their children's names, schools, and classes intact, thus making their children's personal information public. What will you do if bad people take advantage of this and defraud you?

Seeing his wife did not say anything, Mr. Nam added:

- No one forbids people from showing off their children's achievements, but we should also choose carefully so as not to put pressure on others and our children. Especially avoid revealing our children's information.

At this moment, Hoang opened the door and walked out of the room:

- Mom, don't post my certificates online. My classmates were teased by their parents when they posted them online. It was so embarrassing! Tien was even compared to other friends by his parents. The next day, when the whole group went out, they argued because of the comparison.

- There. See? What adults consider normal is a big deal to kids.

Ms. Loan nodded:

- You just noticed. It's true that showing off your child's certificates online does more harm than good.
