Meanwhile the rich communist elites pay for private tutors that normal folks can't afford to give tutoring 1on1 to their kids giving them an edge. Yep all working as intended.

@TheAthleteJC It's China, Non-profit hardly exist because.... well you can't make any money. There are very few non-profits in China and you will be very hard pressed to find schools to provide it for non-profit. They already implement this in a few cities in Zhejiang and all tutoring centers shutdown.. nobody went non-profit because... well... you know people want to make money, especially Chinese.

Well, it's always been parent driven due to the insane pressure from the Gaokao, you think parents are just going to let their kids fall behind preparing for the life-defining exam that is the Gaokao just because the government denies them the ability to send their kids to after hours classes? What's going to happen, and the reason why A LOT of Chinese parents are actually upset about this change is that the rich people will just spend money to have tutors come to their homes and do 1on1 while the middle class and the poor won't be able to afford private tutoring. I have a few foreign friends in China teaching English just waiting for this to happen as parents are willing to pay far more for private tutoring than they would get working for one of the many training centers, we're talking about doubling on tripling of salaries.

and now China's very rich will get 1on1 tutors to their homes while the rest have no opportunity to do the same due to lack of resources. This is the Number 1 complaint from CHINESE parents about this policy change by the way. In person private tutors are always going to be more expensive than sending your kids to tutoring centers, always has been. And now only the rich Kids get an edge in education in China. Maybe this was always the intention?

@willzhang1936 Fast forward to today and Chinese parents are complaining that this change will allow the very rich to hire private tutors 1on1 for their kids while they are deprived of the opportunity to have their kid prepare for the Gaokao because they lack the resources to hire private tutors which are more expensive than the after hours tutoring places charge. If even Chinese parents reject these policies as creating unfair advantages for the rich then you know the government's "oh this is to help Chinese parents" is kind of bs.

@xiaoliu3397 Chinese high school students have never been a big market for these training centers, it's usually the kids ranging from 3-13 that are the prime consumers of private tutoring. It's always been this way. And yes he is right the rich will just hire 1on1 tutors which is way Chinese parents are really upset about this change, they get no chance to compete to the elites now.

Why would people come to teach in China in person, it's NON-PROFIT both offline AND online, how many people in the day and age of COVID are willing to go to China to teach for free?
