Do you agree with Harold’s parent

Q Do you agree with Harold’s parents decision of hiding from him the fact that his father was a boxer? Why/Why not? Cbse English class 9th

ans:- Yes , they did the right thing by hiding the fact from Harold because they did not know how he would react . They felt they were saving him from embarrassment .They did not want him to feel inferior to the other boys in his class , especially as most of them came from the upper strata of society and may have looked down upon him once they came to know of it .
No , it was foolish on their part to hide things from him because by doing so they were living under false pretenses and this would have had painful consequences in the future . Also , they were being overprotective , deciding what their son should or should not be told . They were turning him into a snob by hiding his true background from him .
