However, some parents believe that it is very necessary for children to go to cram schools, just because they don't have much need to go to cram schools in terms of cultural achievements, so it is very necessary to go to cram schools in terms of cultivating hobbies.
Behind the confrontation of various concepts, it is highlighted that the main ambivalence of parents lies in "What can tutor learn? Is there any gain from paying? " In the final analysis, it is a "cost problem".
First, if the cram school costs 100 yuan per semester, can I go? Let's go Because of the high cost of attending cram schools, parents have to consider whether their "investment" has a return. If cram schools are free or extremely cheap, such as 100 yuan per semester or 200 yuan, parents will not hesitate to contradict whether primary school students attend various cram schools. Because this money is not much, buy toys for students!
This psychology of parents actually shows that parents are not opposed to students going to cram schools themselves, but mainly to students paying "high prices" to attend various cram schools!
Every semester 100 yuan is not a problem at all. Who will use less of that 100 yuan? But the problem is that for a primary school student, the cost of attending a cram school is at least 1000 yuan per semester. One of my twin nieces, in the third grade of primary school, attends training classes on weekends. One is a dance training class and the other is a speech training class. The cost of each semester is about 1300, which adds up to 2600.
And this does not include the school's lost time, tuition, miscellaneous fees and other expenses. Twins, the cost of both is doubled. For parents of working families, the pressure can be imagined!
Second, the comparison of children's "toy fee" and "training fee" I am a teacher and a parent, and my own children are in kindergarten. I buy toys of different sizes for my children every semester and even every day. As a parent, I have never calculated the children's "toy expenses".
But when I saw a mountain of toys at home, I suddenly realized this. So I roughly calculated the cost of these toys:
(1) dolls range from 20 to 40 yuan, and at least 10 dolls are bought every semester;
② Barbie dolls range from 10 to 40 yuan, and at least 20 Barbie dolls are bought each semester;
(3) Kitchenware, bathroom tools and other toys, at least 5 sets per semester, the price is between 30 and 60 yuan.
These expenses add up to 1200- 1500. This does not include buying books, cards, crayons and other learning materials. Calculated, the annual spending on toys alone is between 2,400-300 yuan.
My baby also signed up for a "dance training class", one class per week in 700 yuan every semester, with a class of *** 16. The annual cost of training courses is about 1400 yuan.
In contrast, children spend more money on toys than on training courses every semester.
Third, the comparison of children's "clothing expenses" and "training expenses" The clothing of primary school students mainly includes two parts: one part is the clothing purchased by the school, and the other part is the clothing purchased by the parents themselves for the students. We mainly count the cost of parents buying clothes for their children.
If parents prepare two sets of clothes for their children in a quarter, including coats, trousers, shoes and T-shirts, it will cost 1000 yuan per quarter according to the price of each set in 500 yuan. Buy it four times a year, at least 4000 yuan.
The approximate cost for parents to buy clothes for each child at home. Of course, this does not include the cost of school uniforms for children.
Based on the price of primary school students per semester 1.300 yuan, the annual cost is 2,600 yuan, which is far lower than the cost of children buying clothes.
Fourth, the comparison results: the expenses that children spend on training courses are far less than those spent on toys, clothes and so on! As kindergarten children, they often spend a lot of money on toys, but these expenses are ignored by parents because they are cheaper at first and are not "distressed" by parents. If you buy like this for a long time, you will still gather a large number. During kindergarten, parents reported fewer training courses to their children, so they didn't feel too much pressure.
As primary school students, they may not spend as much money on toys as kindergarten children, but the cost they usually spend on clothes is far greater than the cost of attending training classes. These accounts are rarely calculated by parents, and these expenses are shared equally every day or month, so parents feel less obvious. If a person signs up for two or more training courses, the cost of this training will obviously increase and the pressure on parents will become enormous.
