After all, no matter which working class, they are lamenting the increasing investment in raising a child.
In our small county, the monthly salary of husband and wife is less than 5 thousand, so it is difficult to support the children's various expenses. The quality of raising children is different from the environment.
The initial investment is still relatively small, the most is the annual milk powder money, and some breastfeeding is not even needed. However, these are nine Niu Yi hairs that raise a child.
After children are two or three years old, they embark on the long road of education laid by their parents. Apart from food, clothing, housing and transportation, for a child, the most spent on him is education investment.
Children have to participate in various interest classes since kindergarten and primary school. Even before kindergarten, parents take their children to early education classes and never let them lose at the starting line. This seems to be the view of most parents. In the middle and high school stage, I began to exert my strength in the cultural class remedial class.
The Olympic math tutorial class is 4,000 a year, the English tutorial class is 5,000 a year, the dance class is 5,000 a year, the piano class is 8,000 a year, and so on ... A child should be allowed to attend at least two perennial classes, which is the minimum standard. This "money breaker" is really powerful.
Even if the child grows up, it is not easy. In recent years, the "study tour in overseas colleges and universities", which has sprung up in winter and summer vacations, costs 20 thousand yuan to 30 thousand yuan. No wonder people always say that while struggling for children's learning ability, they are also struggling for their parents' economic ability.
For example, I clearly remember that the parents of a high school student in our school invited their daughter to have a special tutor in all subjects all the year round, and the cost of tutoring alone was tens of thousands every year. Although they are just ordinary farmers and migrant workers, although their children's grades have always been average in their classes, they spend 80% of their total income on investing in their children. ...
In addition to the normal education expenses of the school, many parents have to send their children to remedial classes, preferring to be wrong rather than miss it.
Many parents are paying for their education. It can be seen that the investment in education has made many people vomit and feel helpless. It is said that the cost of childcare in four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is as high as 200W+. What is the real situation? I haven't experienced it anyway.
Ordinary families may not be that high, but the actual cost is not low. Someone calculated an account like this:
The basic cost from pregnancy to birth is 25,000 yuan, including production, check-up, nutrition, nursing and installation.
The basic expenses for infants and young children are 55,000. Including milk powder, nutrition, early education and nanny fee.
The basic expenses for early childhood 1.2 million yuan, including kindergarten, entertainment, diet and nursing.
Primary school basic expenses185,000 yuan, including tuition, miscellaneous fees, meals and fun.
The basic cost of junior high school 108000 yuan, including tuition and fees, meals, fun, shopping, school choice, etc.
The basic cost of high school is 60 thousand. Tuition and miscellaneous fees, make-up classes, transportation, shopping, sponsorship fees, etc.
The basic cost of the university stage is 74,000. Tuition, accommodation, transportation, food, play, shopping, etc.
According to this basic standard, a family needs to spend at least 600,000 yuan from the time they are pregnant to the time they graduate from college.
After reading this picture, I suddenly felt very ashamed. My child was born and raised in the countryside and actually saved a lot of money.
Of course, we can completely support the poor, and even don't need this half of the cost. But for families with the same income, are you willing to keep your children's education behind the modern rhythm? Do you have a better educational idea and way? Can you change the present situation of exam-oriented education?
A deep sigh!
