| 擇校危害：給普通家庭帶來沉重負擔 |
Education fees a heavy burden |
| “孩子的教育經費是我們家最大的開銷。”楊海玲說，為了讓孩子有個好的成長環境，他們從幼兒園就開始擇校。當時幼兒園提供的是豐臺區教委的銀行賬號，她一次性交了近4萬元“捐助款”。孩子學得苦，家長也不堪重負。 |
"My son's education fees make up the largest part of our expenses," said Yang Hailing. In order to foster the best education for her son, she made a "donation" of 40,000 yuan to a famous kindergarten, to ensure her son was on the school's roster. |
| 擇校造成了什么后果？調查顯示，72.4%的人首選“給普通家庭帶來沉重負擔”，64.8%的人認為“導致一些學校亂收費、高收費”，63.6%的人選擇“教育公平被架空”。 |

As the survey found, 72.4 percent of people feel education fees are a heavy burden to ordinary families; 64.8 percent believe the fees will result in illegal practices at some schools; and 63.6 percent think the education system is losing its fairness. |
| 廈門大學教育研究院鄭若玲教授認為，擇校帶來的最嚴重后果是教育不公，有錢有權的家庭不愁擇校，普通家庭的孩子接受優質教育的機會越來越少。“擇校對孩子的成長也很不利，從小耳濡目染這樣的事，他們將來會用怎樣的方式為人處世？” |
According to Zheng Ruoling, a professor of the Educational Research Center at Xiamen University, the worst effect of parents choosing schools is the unfairness of education: children in rich and powerful families have little difficulty getting accepted to good schools, while children in ordinary families have less and less access to a good education. "Additionally, it will leave a negative impact on the children. What kind of people will they grow up into if they get accustomed to this phenomenon in childhood?" Zheng said. |
| 在任寶菊看來，大部分家長擇校是為了“應試”，沒想過孩子需要受什么樣的教育，高強度的培訓讓孩子只會考試，只想知道答案，不愿思考，這對他們一生都有害。 |
For Ren Baoju, most parents choose schools only in an attempt to ensure their children can go to a good college in the future. They don't have a thorough understanding of what kind of education their children need. The tough trainings will make the children result-oriented and cause them to lose the habit of thinking, which will have a bad impact on their entire life. |
