Education：Parachute children should not be left behind
教育：應給予“降落傘兒童”更多關愛

Maybe the Chinese government can do something to all the parents of "parachute children": if you send your child away, consider the child's interests! Parking your child in a boarding school is not ideal. But in China, parents believe boarding schools are better places than the home. Therein lays a cultural difference between the West and China. Chinese parents seem to shove their responsibility away from them in the hope that their child gets a public education from a boarding school. In reality, children in boarding schools suffer from home sickness.

也許中國政府應該對所有“降落傘兒童”的父母們采取一些措施：如果你將孩子送走，請考慮孩子的意愿！把孩子放在寄宿學校并不是理想的選擇。然而在中國，父母們認為住寄宿學校比住家里對孩子更好。這是中西方的一個文化差異。中國父母似乎將責任轉嫁給了學校，認為孩子在寄宿學校能得到公共教育。事實上，寄宿學校的孩子飽受思家之苦。
