"Supporting children is an obligation for all parents" said my father. Every parents expect their children to be more successful than themselves in the future, so that parents will do whatever they can to help their kids to receive the best education. Some children appreciate what their parants do to them; however, some become arrogant. In the essay "The Achievement of Desire" writen by Richard Rodriguez. When Richard became more knowledgeable than his parents, he was sort of impatient when his parents wanted to help him on his homework. "I'll try to figure it out some more by myself."
It is exactly an inaccurate response for replying to people who are trying to help you. We ought to appreciate our parents offering us a chance to receive education. When Richard said "I'll try to figure it out some more by myself" to his parents, I don't deem that he ever thought abouth what feeling his parents would get when they heard it. If I were in his shoes, I would use an ruphemistic manner to refuse the help from my parents. The more capable, the more humble. I think it is very important for relationships. When we are taken care by parents, we receive a lot from them. One day when we succeed, we can not forget what parents have done to us, we are supposed to requite parents with whatever we can to let them have the best life.

I totally agree with you my friend because i have seen such people who just want their parents to look down upon them just because they are more educated than their parents. They think that every decision they take by themselves is right and they don't even ask their parents for the guidance. They feel superior to them but they don't think that their parents have more life experience than them. They know how to deal with people and take care of difficult situations in their life. Moreover, if people think that they are educated then i have a question to them that why don't you understand your parents situation when they were kids like you? In their time, some of them had many responsibilities like they had to take care of their family so they had to work at very early age because of their poor status and couldn't concentrate on their studies but today it's different and we are lucky that we don't need to work at an early age and we can concentrate on our studies. One more thing i want to tell to those people that if your parents can help you in moving your first step in your childhood then later on when you get educated, why can't you share some part of your education to them? Why do you feel embarrassed at that time? After all they also have some hopes from you and if you call yourself educated then why don't you understand them?
Parents' only ambition is to make you better them
Of course children will be better educated, with better job, living in better conditions, because that is the only goal parents are striving for.
If children can stand higher, it's because they are standing on the parents' shoulders. A revised version of a well-known saying.
When you stand on their shoulders, can you look down upon them who are supporting you?
Therefore, as Mayur said, if they don't understand parents, their higher education is completely a waste.
Education is not just to teach you maths, physics, but to teach you to be a real person.
If you become arrogant and look down upon your parents, you are a failure case of education.
