It is a popular and controversial (争议的）topic in China. Every parents don’t want their children to lose life at the beginning. That is a very important choose from the parents when the children are young. I know too little about the education system oversea,but I researched some information about the U.S.,and I grew up in the Chinese system. If possible,I could compare the education between China and the U.S.

As I became a father, I consider the problem from now on. In regards to education, I think existence(存在） is reasonable. What the parents really think about the children’s life for future ?
If they want live in local oversea, the foreign education is suitable for you. If living in China, I think the education is not bad for you. Whatever,which you choose, studying hard is the key point. If you want your children to do better than the others in future, you will tell them reading more books and learn more skills. The opposite, you just hope your children live a simple life without competition and you could store more possession ( 财产），especially estate(房地产）in China.

For myself, I have a idea for the question. Maybe my boy will give me the advice. When hearing about that , someone may say “are you kidding?” No ,I am sure that before I will practice my son to think on his own. As he grow up to three years old , he may talk with me the topic. Before the timing is coming, I will do my interesting business as a sample for him and tell him it is a happy thing to do what you really like to do.

Education is a popular and controversial (争议的）topic in China. Every parent doesn’t want their child to lose before they even start.

Sending children abroad is a very important choice for the parents when the children are young. I know too little about the education systems overseas, but I researched some information about the U.S., and I grew up in the Chinese system. If possible, I would compare the education systems between China and the U.S.

As I became a father, I am considering the question now. In regards to education, each system has its own strengths and weaknesses. If the system is long standing, I think it is acceptable for my child.  What future should I give my child/son?

If he wants to live overseas, foreign education is suitable for him. If he wants to live in China, I think the local education is not bad for him.

Whatever the choice, studying hard is the key point. If you want your children to do better than the others in the future, you will tell them to read more books and learn more skills.

If you just hope your children live a simple life without competition, you could save or invest your money in property in China.

For myself, I have an idea for the question. Maybe my boy will tell me what he wants to do. If my friends hear this, they may ask “are you kidding?” No, I am sure that before I will teach my son to think on his own. I will give him the opportunity to be independent. I think when he is 3 or 5 years old, he may talk about this with me. Before this time comes, I will lead by example for him and tell him I am happy doing the things that I really like to do.
