学校放暑假，父母压力大：“没有自由的暑假”引发热议

暑假时节，又到了家长叫苦不迭的时候。兴趣班、夏令营、国内研学、海外游学……账单动辄上万的并不少见。到底是为了投资孩子教育，还是减轻自己的焦虑，各位家长真的想好了吗？

As children in China look forward to their six-week summer holiday, parents are finding themselves suffering from higher levels of stress and financial strain than they do during the rest of the school year.

就在中国的孩子们期盼时长六周的暑假之际，家长们发现自己的精神和经济压力比一学年中任何时候都大。

学校放暑假，父母压力大：“没有自由的暑假”引发热议1

“No freedom summer holiday” became a trending topic on Weibo, China’s Twitter, in May, as parents began spending much time and money planning their children’s holiday schedule. It was a similar tale last year, when “Having 30,000 yuan monthly salary cannot afford the summer holiday” also went viral online.

当父母们开始花大量时间和金钱规划孩子的暑假时，“没有自由的暑假”在今年5月就已成为微博热门话题。这与去年情形类似。当时，《月薪三万，还是撑不起孩子的一个暑假！》在网上引发热议。

Both trends reflect the anxiety and fear of parents that their children will lag behind other classmates during the summer break. To keep their offspring in study mode, parents try to fill the holiday with different classes and tours, at ever-increasing expense.
