Educational Arms race
From the Economist,Navigating the transition to an American school can seem so daunting that nearly every Chinese family hires an agent or admissions consultant, fuelling a sort of educational arms race. “Once parents hear that their child’s classmates have consultants”, says Jiang, “they feel guilty if they don’t hire one, too.”
It's not only in China that parents are in an education arms race. I am no exception and i am doing what everybody is doing in my country.
Private school + Private tutors etc.....
what is the result? i guess if you really invest in the education of your kids you can put them on the top 5% or 10% of the pack.
however they will have an education similar to thousand and thousand of other students which means they have many people to replace them.
what is the alternative?
i guess let them have some things that few other students have. sports, arts, mandarin etc....
