INTRODUCTION
It has been observed that many of the students at various levels have been
confronted with the issue of either subject or course choice. In many instances such choices are made from expressed interest verbally. In some schools, students are asked to write such choices and possibly to give reasons for their choices. After that such choices are not monitored to identify the performance despite the expressed interest by the students (Kolo, 2002). The influence of parents is one of the most persistent factors determining the child’s interests in school. Not only do parents influence children attitudes towards school in general, but they have profound influence on their attitude towards the importance of education, towards studying, different school subject and towards his teachers and classmates.
