When the child was at school, he made an appointment with a few classmates to go to the park for a picnic this afternoon.
Several children ate and drank together, ran and had a lot of fun!
The mother of one of the twins initially said they only had an hour because they had piano lessons at 2 p.m.
Later, the child's father saw that the child was having a good time, and he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he said to take a leave of absence from the teacher.
But when it was more than 3 o'clock, they were the first to propose to withdraw, because there was still art class at 4 o'clock.
Today is the first day of the May Day holiday, our children do not have any interest in classes, and this pair of twins has a total of 3 courses.
When a few of us adults chatted together, we also talked about the topic of interest classes. I found that their children had at least four or five art and sports interest classes.
My children went to two interest classes, one art and one violin, and the total cost a year was about 13,000, and I felt very sad.
I began to wonder, is my family's income too low, limiting my horizons?
At present, my husband and I have a total income of about 16,700 a month, I don't know if at the age of 35, is it the poorest kind of family? Coordinates north of Chengdu.
But I do feel that the people I know around me are rich.
The art class that my child applied for before was quite cheap, more than 3,000 points a year, but the content learned in recent years has been stuck at a level, and I had to choose to change. Most of the children we know are basically studying in another high-end art institution, more than 6,000 a year.
Before, we didn't consider this relatively high-end institution, mainly because I thought it was expensive. Now in fact, I still think it is not cheap, but the wooden method, children like.
Our interest classes are 13,000 a year, and the number of those who go to 4 or 5 interest classes is almost 30,000, and the twins are 60,000. How much does it take to have an annual household income to think that this is nothing?
Therefore, the first reason for the lack of interest classes is because of poverty, because of unstable jobs, and fear of having no source of income after losing their jobs.
The second reason is that there is not so much time and energy. There are no elderly people at home, I have a single weekend off, and the pick-up and drop-off of the interest class and the practice after class are very time-consuming.
The third reason, because of my regrets, I hope that my child can become a scientific researcher when he grows up, and he will have one or two hobbies, and there is no need to learn so much.
Of course, the latter two reasons may just be a statement of my own, and I don't want to admit that I am too badly mixed!
But I would like to know, what is the proportion of the cost of the child's interest class when you are reading the article? What kind of mentality do you have to let your children learn these interest classes?
