Under the "double reduction" new policy, major training institutions such as New Oriental and Good Future have been transformed, and local education departments have issued bans to ban summer tuition, and off-campus training institutions have cooled down.
Why take a shot at off-campus training institutions?
Because off-campus training institutions are doing business, not education!

The essence of education and training institutions is a commercial institution, in order to achieve economic benefits, with the slogan of "don't let the child lose at the starting line", release anxiety, sell anxiety. Under the injection of capital, in order to increase the return on investment, let more people consume anxiety, and even spend a lot of money to hire school teachers. In order to let children have good grades and a good future, parents have to choose tuition, which not only increases a lot of learning burden for students, but also brings a lot of economic and mental burdens to parents, and also intensifies the inner volume of education.

The longer the child learns, the greater the pressure, but the effect does not increase but decreases. Other children continue to make up for it, spend a long time studying, get into a good school, you can't sit still, but also join in, as more and more people join, the probability of getting into a good school is getting smaller and smaller. Why? Because there are only so many places.
So what is the root cause of the infighting in education?

Why is there an imbalance in educational resources?
Teachers are uneven
There is less allocation to rural schools that need more teachers, and less money to rural schools that need more support, that is, the distribution of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
How can we eliminate the imbalance in educational resources?
Yang Dongping, a member of the National Education Advisory Committee, proposed that there is a balance between three sources: student sources, financial sources, and teacher sources.
1. Balance the source of students in the nearest school and avoid getting to a school in a sharp way.
2. Funding for each school is allocated on a per-head basis
3. Distribute the division equally
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > why are private schools restricted? </h1>
Private schools and training institutions are essentially the same, they are all commercial institutions, and commercial institutions will pursue profits. However, unlike the anxiety of training institutions selling, private schools attract high-quality teachers through high prices, grasp the tip of the school, and build a super middle school.
Do you think that if the students admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University come from these schools, what will happen to the parents? Squeeze your head and let the child in! So what about high tuition fees, what about the school district housing requirements? Isn't this another round of bringing education into disparities and into the infighting?
Yang Dongping commented: "Through the development of private education, the in-depth combination of private education and capital market and real estate has made the manufacturing school gap a stimulant that drives the local economy, raises housing prices, and drives real estate. ”
Simply put, it takes so many people to go to factories or enterprises and become technicians or professionals. But in fact, many parents are also worried about the employment and salary of vocational high schools, after all, many companies still look at diplomas when recruiting. It may be better to be able to attend a high-quality vocational high school.
"Double subtraction", indicator students... Many policies aim to achieve equity in education. No matter how the policy changes, it is attributed to external factors. What parents can do is to urge their children to study well and grow up healthily, while also paying attention to their children's interests and hobbies and planning a good future for their children in advance.
