"Your parents must be very proud" (Svetlana)

--Quote from "An Achievement of Desire" by Rodriguez

In class we were discussing a problem when parents are less educated than their children. I think children who got into situation like that should be humiliated but happy because they have an opportunity to study which their parents probably didn’t have when they were young. Children should respect and appreciate a chance of getting education and as a result building successful life. These children, in my opinion, should not be embarrassed by the level of own parent’s education, but must be thankful to them, because parents are people who give them opportunity to study.
They are main supporters of own children in any beginnings.

Of course children should be better than parents

If children is less educated than parents, then they will definitely hear someone saying, "Your parents must be ashamed of you".

Therefore, how can better education make children ashamed of their parents?

If they feel embarrassed, or ashamed of parents' lack of education, then they are definitely shameful.
