kindergarden interview / summarizing

Why do you want your kid to be in this kindergarten?
What can you do to help him develop into abetter person?
What’s your idea for parental kid relationship?

possible way to organize an answer: Start with a story: I considered public schools but not good enough -> considered your school -> checks all the boxes-> what makes my son a good asset for your school.

In material aspects, they are spoiled because parents are able to spend more on them instead of on a couple of kids. And when parents focus more on children they will seek resources and time and energy to make them grow into a better condition both in edu heath and everyday life.
They put too much efforts in making them better. they should focus on the right thing. I can focus more clearly in writing. I think an environment family doesn’t care too much about a child’s development they could focus on its own interest. The original motive the one child policy was actually to make a family have more money and time effort to put in children so the one generation would be more educated have more money to have things in society. That is a primitive motive.
I think it is a good policy, it makes our generation to have the choice. That’s something we didn’t have. I think to most westerners they will probably react like it is unacceptable though I personally think there will be a cost in a country’s policy. They have to do it with a broad idea of what is good for a country.
It is too difficult for a country as poor as we were before.
They killed most of their girls after birth, one child policy is kind of useful back when it was carried out but I don’t think it is very moral.
It is just that we couldn’t do that back then.

from a materialistic point of view/angle, they are spoiled because parents are able (and willing) to spend more on them instead of on a couple of kids. And when parents focus more on children they will allocate resources, time and energy to make them grow into a better person/a better self/ to help them improve both in edu heath and everyday life.
They put too much efforts in making them better and (by doing so put the kid under a lot of pressure).. they should focus on the right thing?????.

In some family environments, parents don’t care so much about their child’s development, they’d rather focus on it’s interest.  The original motive for the one child policy was actually to make a family have more money(have a higher disposable income),time and efforts to put in children so that this generation would be more educated have more money to have what they want/ to be middle class…. That is a primary motive.
I think it was a good policy, it gave our generation a choice. That’s something our parents didn’t have. I think to most westerners they will probably react like it is unacceptable though I personally think there is always a cost in carrying out a policy. They have to plan it with a broad idea of what is good for a country.
It is too difficult for a country as poor as we were before.
They killed most of their girls at birth, creating a gender imbalance. The one child policy was kind of useful back when it was carried out but I don’t think it was very moral.
It is just that we couldn’t allow more children back then.
