Recently, an article called "30 thousand a month, still can't support a summer vacation for children" was widely spread. As an executive of an enterprise, the salary is 30 thousand a month, but it's hard to raise a daughter, which has aroused hot discussion among netizens. For parents, it's the wish of every parent to look forward to their children, but sometimes amazing investment can really let children learn some knowledge?
A mother who works as an executive in an enterprise earns more than 30000 yuan a month. Her daughter's summer vacation is over, but she is afraid of new clothes. She calculated a sum of money: her daughter went to the United States to study for 10 days, 20000 yuan; please take care of her aunt, 5000 yuan; plus the piano class, swimming class, English, Olympic mathematics, composition training fees, 35000 yuan. In recent years, the number of overseas study tours in Hangzhou has been very hot. This year, the number of overseas study tours is twice that in 2013. The most expensive NASA Space Camp costs 37800 yuan. Once there were students who reported four study tours in a summer vacation. (this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.

Is a tour worth tens of thousands of yuan?
Parents have different attitudes
As the "payer" of study tours, parents have different attitudes. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed several Hangzhou parents at random.
Mr. Wang's children are enrolled in a well-known public primary school, which starts in the fifth grade. 'this summer vacation, I reported my child to study in the UK for 30, 000 yuan for half a month, mainly focusing on its itinerary design, which not only has the experience of living at home, but also can go to the local school to attend classes with students. Such an English learning environment is certainly good for the child, and I hope he can improve his oral English level. Summer vacation is the "money burning season". I can't even calculate how much it costs. In fact, the usual expenses have been much less than the low-level, because the children have no time to toss about, cut off a lot of interest classes. '
Ms. Hu believes that studying abroad can improve children's ability to take care of themselves. 'my son goes to Singapore. He is usually a pet, so he has a general ability of self-care. The first time we left so far away, we were a little worried. As a result, the teacher said that he performed well. When he came back, he would fold clothes and quilts by himself, and pack things neatly. The money would be worth it. '(this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.

Some parents also expressed different opinions and did not plan to arrange their children to study abroad in summer vacation.
One parent said: 'it's true to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, but do you have to go abroad to study? This trip is tens of thousands of yuan, which is my salary for several months, but the children have no concept, they will feel very relaxed. I don't want my children to develop the habit of comparing and following the trend. '
Ms. Li's daughter studies in a residential private school, and almost all of her friends report her children to study abroad. 'it can't be said that it's just a need, but many parents with financial ability will let their children experience it. The children's palace is still cheap. Generally, it takes 450000 yuan to start in the United States. I'm not unwilling to report to the child, but she doesn't want to go. My daughter said that she can only go home once a week when she lives in school. She wants to stay with her parents in summer vacation. She has to stay outside for half a month when she goes to school. If she doesn't like it, I don't ask for it. '(this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.

Ms. Tang is not only the parent of the first grade students, but also a first grade head teacher. There are already students in the class who have begun to take part in the study tour. She thinks: 'education is often the choice of parents. I may arrange a study tour for my son in primary school, but it will not be so early. For most first graders, I personally don't think it's very interesting to spend tens of thousands to study abroad. On the other hand, I'm also worried about safety. The self-control ability and self-care ability of low-level children will be weaker. '
There are also many parents struggling: 'when she was in the first grade, there was a problem in her school assignment, where did you go the furthest this summer vacation? How can I answer that? Did we go to the training center the furthest in the summer vacation? Maybe the child didn't feel this problem, but it was the parents. I'm sorry if I didn't arrange to go out and play...'
