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

[starlight1968sg]

isetan:

$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.

Such a lucrative job ? I don't mind copying but not doing the homework.
I read of the 2 tier tutor article...getting 2nd tutor to coach kids for first tutor's hw.

For my younger kid in p2, she will have to do all the hw herself. When older one was in p4, his hw workload was crazy, so we all helped him with coloring, art, finding meanings of words from newspaper etc etc. prob is can't help him to re-copy compo. Teacher doesn't allow typing.
