When my daughter was five years old, I told my wife we didn’t want to find a private school for her, because that is not practical. because that’s is more stress for her. We just want to find a public school near our home to apply. But two years later, When he on the time to primary school, we changed the thinking and decided to find a suitable private school for her, because we think the good curriculum and extracurricular activities is very useful for children grow up. However, in Shanghai, the private schools qualifications is very difficult for every family, the second one the tuition fee is more expensive for family. Parents need to face a heavy burden. When I try to discuss this point with another parent, almost everyone said we want to find a find a good environment for my child.

Revised

When my daughter was five years old, I told my wife we didn’t want to find a public school for her, because it’s more practical, she would be too stressed in a private school. We just want to apply/register for a public school near our house. But two years later, When it was time for her to go to primary school, we changed our mind and decided to find a suitable private school for her, because we thought the good curriculum and the extracurricular activities would be very useful for the children in their childhood. However, in Shanghai, the qualifications for private schools are very demanding for every family, the second one tuition fee is more expensive for most families/ it’s hard for families to afford the tuition fees. Parents will face a heavy burden. When I try to discuss this matter with other parents, almost everyone said that it’s important to find a good school for the kids.
