做陪讀父母不值

做陪讀父母不值  Accompanying parenting is not worthwhile

曾經在農場里碰到陪讀的爸爸, 是上海人, 自己在上海也有農場和產業. 他和兒子還都有綠卡. 他告訴我說一年他來美國就花了60K美金，讀書還是不要錢的呢，還是租的房子呢！上次那個媽媽花了70多萬在美國買房子，帶兩個小孩子讀書，房子一年的稅就要三四萬！更何況別的生活用費！你來送錢，美國佬當然歡迎，多多益善！Jackie的同學來美國六年了，一口流利英文，卻還在英文補習班！這還是父母在身邊的呢！Jackie現在功課重起來，那些英文不夠好的，怎麼完成家庭作業呀？ 我在想有那麼多錢,國內請不到好的老師嗎？是不是在國內也象在這兒一樣，要提心弔膽過日子，不安全了？

Once on the farm I met a father acompanying his son here. He is also a Shanghai native. He also has a farm and industry in Shanghai. He and his son also have green cards. He told me that he came to the United States for a year and alreadyspent $60K dollars. Still rent a house! Last time, a mother spent more than $700K in the United States to buy a house, with two children  studying here. The house has tax of thirty or forty thousand a year, not to mention other living expenses! You come to spread money, the United States certainly welcomes, more the better! Jackie』s classmates have been in the United States for six years, and they are fluent in English, but they are still in English tutoring classes! They are childrenstill with parents around! Jackie is now having heavy homework load. Those whose English are not good enough, how to complete homework? I am thinking about if having so much money can't they find good teachers in China? Is it in the country like being US, unsafe? Have to live with it?
