That sad for MC but also a sad reality for some.i have a friend in Japan who teaches English and unfortunately it's common for the father's to give there paycheck to the wife to manage the household and expenses. There was one child in the class that barley had school supplies, books, and no appropriate school backpack (bc they use a certain type). He wasn't performing well in school either, but who knows what was going on in that household. But during parent teacher meetings the mom was the only one there and was always looking good and using name brand stuff, I mean at least get essentials for the kid ╥﹏╥
