What "IQ taxes" have you paid in educating your children?
I haven't paid this IQ tax, which is something to be thankful for. However, many parents pay IQ tax. The most typical case is an off-campus tutor dispute in my city. A parent spent 80,000 yuan to send his child to a cram school. After three years of tutoring, the child's grades are still very poor. Parents feel that the promise of the cram school has not been fulfilled, and there is a feeling of being cheated. Parents go to the cram school boss and demand a refund of tuition fees. The parents' request was rejected, and the cram school owner even bit back and said, "Your child's IQ is too low to teach."

In addition, many friends around me also buy a lot of study reference materials for their children, and pay a sky-high price to go to a teacher training institution for tutoring. Training institutions always refer to local students studying in famous schools such as Peking University and Tsinghua as their own tutors, and always refer to famous teachers from famous schools as teachers hired by their own institutions. It is also said that many schoolmasters in a middle school are now upgrading in their own institutions. When my child was in high school, he once visited his junior high school classmate's house. It happened that his classmates were going to cram school on weekends. His classmates said that there are also students from my children's school in the class, and the teacher is also from my children's school. My children were dragged to cram school by classmates. I asked several cram schools, and the children don't have a school, and the teachers are not from the children's school. Only then did my children's classmates know that they had been cheated.

We think that money that is not worth spending is called IQ tax, but for the rich, they don't think so. They think it is worthwhile to spend money on children. Otherwise, those who buy school districts and pay sky-high school selection fees will not be suckers.

I have a distant relative. He has devoted a lot of effort to his children, invested more money to support their education and study, and spent a lot of money in schools and extracurricular classes.

His children have to pay a school selection fee of1.2000 yuan when they are admitted to junior high school. His family is short of money, and he is anxious to find my family to help raise money to solve the urgent need for children to go to school. His child is a senior in high school, and he paid 6800 yuan in tuition in the second half of the year. Because of paying 6800 yuan, relatives quarreled and almost divorced. Finally, they negotiated peacefully and paid the fee. From junior high school to senior high school, his children also attended extracurricular cram schools and spent a lot of money.
