Are you covered?

Just now my hubby told me about something he heard from his friend. He said there were 3 boys (around 8 years old) who were playing the school gate at one of the most favorite elementary school in Bandung. 2 of the boys closed the gate while his friend was trying to get out from the schoolyard. As a result, his hand was squeezed by the big sturdy steel gate! His little finger was broken into pieces and he has to be hospitalized several weeks.

The boy's father was furious because the school took no action at all. It was an accident but the school might show their attention by taking this issue seriously. Punishing the boys who did that or just spreading the issue that they would be dropped out of school (they won't of course) were the options to show the parents that everybody has to be responsible to take the consequences.

My mom replied to this story that at the school where she works as a teacher, each student has an insurance. I think that's a good idea as well. For my family, all of us have been covered by term life insurance. We put this insurance matter into our home budget priority. As parents we want to make sure our love ones are protected if we were no longer around. We hope insurance can help secure our family's future.
