Parent pays nearly $6,000 a month in tuition fees

I do feel sorry for the boy. Bet his grades never suffered enough for him to experience setbacks, and bet he never had the chance to prove to himself.
Maybe I am old school but I feel that setbacks and recovery is necessary in a child’s road to self discovery. If parents pave the road and preempt every obstacle along the way, they are likely doing a disservice and even cripple the child psychologically.
Wonder if he boy, in his heart of hearts, ever doubted his own academic ability, and if he stood proud and tall when he received his good grades. -
$200 an hour. That’s the same rate as me
But I charge that for consultancy

$6000 a month is equivalent to a middle income earner. Or equivalent to $1500/subject. That’s scary!

Look, some people earn $200 per hour and not per day

You are soo right, Mawar.
I followed the article and read about the narcissism epidemic in USA. It’s so true. Parenting is about balancing between extremes - and teaching our children to take a balanced view of life. What values are these parents passing on? -
$6k per month works out to be $72k per year. Multiply that by 6 years, it will be ~$430k. With this kind of money I can sponsor the average / above average kid to go abroad for a degree, as long as his results are not that bad, and the uni won’t be that lousy either. Why bother to slog like this - what can the kid get out of this type of "spoon-feeding"?
-
This is what i call "slogging for life". This is absolutely nuts! I can’t imagine what the child will turns out to. Lack of creativity? Book smart? Or worse turns wild when break free from parents.
