These parents think that getting donations makes their children beggars and not students. But by forbidding their children to ask for money, are they not telling their children that they are different (perhaps of a higher status?) than the beggars on the streets?
The schools think it is part and parcel of the holistic education process for the students to go out to ask for money in school uniforms. The schools think that they are not making beggars of the students. But take away the uniforms and replace them with worn-out clothes, don't we have beggars in our midst?
