Desperate times call for desperate measures! I am sure parents in Hongkong know what this means. Every parent there is now trying to find the best coaching center to ensure that their kid is trained for the kindergarten interview.
The race to get into the best available option for kindergarten has taken a totally whole new level of craziness. I am sure that day is not far when in India too, parents will be rallying to get their kids into the best known schools. I think some of it is already happening in metros such as Mumbai and Delhi.
Check the video about how Hongkong parents are taking their toddlers to interview training before they appear for the actual interview.
From the time you see the + on the pregnancy test stick to the time your child starts nursery, the parent in you is always trying to get the best for your child. You want them to succeed. The definition of success for every parent though differs.
Take this infographic for instance. It clearly states top reasons why parents want the best education for their child. These are just some statistics, but the crux remains best opportunities that we could not access due to whatever reasons need to be made available to our children.
Whatever might be the reason, the world is getting competitive and parents are ready to ramp up! Next year is when my daughter starts the big school and going through the whole process of admission is already freaking me out. How were your experiences in this competitive world? Do you agree to this trend of grilling toddlers for interviews? Share your views with us!
