Most school-going children have already settled, and the last thing their parents would want to have is more school demands. Sacho Secondary School learners during a school meeting.

A mother has shared a hilarious note her son penned to him days after admission, making a demand more than a request. Jill Mutua shared the photo of the letter penned by her son in Form One asking his mum to send him some money.  "Greetings from Matthew. How are you guys? Well, I'm fine here at Sacho. Unfortunately, I am out of money. I need more money before the cards are ready. I am looking forward to seeing you guys," part of the letter read. Buying food from canteen through ATM cards Mutua from Nairobi said the note was written to the teacher, who then took a photo and sent it to the mum. Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Mutua described the feeling after receiving the photo of the piece of paper with Matthew's plea. "I was happy to read from him despite the handwriting and the piece of paper. The English impressed me. The school has a canteen. They get ATM cards, which we load, and can follow the expenses. When he comes home, we will draw a budget, which he will have to stick to," the doting mother said. Spending KSh 3,000 per term in canteen She added she would teach her firstborn son Matthew to be less demanding, adding that her son asked for money as if she had no option but to send it. Mutua said the cards should be ready two weeks after being loaded, but there was a delay, hence Matthew's request. "I am comfortable loading KSh 1,000 a month, which is KSh 3,000 per term. He can only swipe in school, but if they go on trips or need to come home, he can withdraw," she shared.
