呢邊讀書制度唔同香港,免費讀書係由4歲開始, 如果返preschool, 就要自己比錢。 Hannah係兩歲半左右就去左 preschool, 個個月比$950 usd, 其實都幾拿利,但佢返學後又真係覺得佢學多左好多野, 所以都值得既。 下年既佢就可以入免費讀書program, 不過其實學校已經講到明,佢地個syllabus係玩, 無學野成份,唉,難怪d朋友講, 5歲讀kindergarden時,都係學番abc先, 怕其他小朋友咩都唔識(未讀過書個d), 因為5歲前個d都唔算係mandatory, 你可以選擇唔讀架。 我見Hannah學野都算ok, 同埋我晚晚都會比下功課佢做(係自己print d worksheet比佢), 咁所有就決定同佢去讀G&T class. G&T stand for gifted and talented, 中文翻譯為天才班, 其實都唔算係咩天才,只不過其他class d進度實在慢,所以就膽粗粗睇下hannah讀成點。 如果要考入天才班,2017 年1 月就要考,仲有一年左右,我相信都夠時間卦。 其實佢地個outline, 睇落去都唔易架, 不過如果考唔到我又唔會失望既,只要個女盡左力, 我覺得已經好滿足。 hannah學校入面有個G&t early prep, 咁我又見咁方便,唔駛接完佢去第二度再送佢去第二度學野, 咁都ok呀,同埋佢本身就係學校入面, 只不過一個星期一日會留耐少少,咁都ok啦。 價錢方面都reasonable, $600 20 星期, 呢邊d價係咁上下呀。
呢排真係比學校榨乾左,12月個陣又話上 summer class要比錢先, 個度又$1850 (兩個月), 跟住個個月又$950, 而家上天才班又$600, 跟住又要報定下年hannah讀書 enrichment (下年本身係免費,但鐘數去到 3點左右,所以如果想個小朋友留到5 點,又要一個月$360, 佢仲要唔比個個月比錢,一比就要成年, 即係$3600, 呀,真係攞命呀!), 跟住又要準備emma下年9月入學,個度又$980, 唉, 難怪養一個小朋友要用4百萬啦。雖然呢d錢點都唔貴得個讀大學, 但我個個月咁嘔出來,真係癲左呀,仲有今年要返hk, 洗費又點少得呢,唉, 我都係日日食麵包做lunch算啦。 我仲未計wkend諗住同佢去學跳舞,而家咁, 我都要考慮下先啦,唉。
Happy New Year!!
ReplyDelete對呀!"天生天養"嘅時代早已唔存在,好多父母都好似妳咁,情緣慳自己都唔會慳仔女,特别係同academic有關嘅,大家都想盡能力提供好嘅學習環境俾小朋友嘛!不過慳時慳,Mrs. Wu都要好好保重身體,同埋做女人簡唔中都要treat yourself啊!
I could have written the same thing!
ReplyDeleteThe worst part for us that we decided to leave our oldest one in private elementary school, so every month is 1K. After school care is on top of that, which average about 300/month. They still go swimming, dancing, bball, music class, etc.
That's just on them alone. We still have to pay mortgage and other bills. Sigh.
真係唔平喎!!
ReplyDelete不過,返學真係好d (特別係我地既在職媽咪),起碼有專業人仕照顧!
所以有時啲人話喺香港細路辛苦,其實度度差唔多。唔通真係比佢哋玩哂唔做工課先叫有童年咩。
ReplyDeleteMRS WU加油!真係好貴好大負擔,你係個好好好好嘅媽咪呀!
真係幾貴呢!而家做小朋友同以前個年代好唔同呀~~
ReplyDelete嘩, 美國的學費真係比香港貴, 不過學海豚兒話齋, 妳都要注意營養, 保重身體, 間中俾自己放鬆下啦
ReplyDelete嘩!真係好貴呀~~~我以為美國有津貼會駛錢,原來仲貴過香港
ReplyDeleteSummer camp 有八個星期,唔洗250/month 算是平,一般的都要350/month 起,所以算是慳了.
ReplyDelete再加上您的小孩們小時不用daycare 那麼就讓那些省下的錢用作現在的教學冼費.
I use to paid $2500/month for my two kids for daycare.
Ops, I meant 250/ week and 350/week😁
ReplyDelete$950 usd學費真係好貴呀! 雖然學費咁貴係會吃力,不過你都要好好照顧自己,加油^_^
ReplyDelete嘩﹗原來美國返學係咁貴㗎﹗Mrs Wu你要努力D搵錢畀兩個女啦﹗
ReplyDelete我都覺,以前天生天養,依家冇呢支歌仔了><""
ReplyDelete依家小朋友學呢樣東樣真係好貴...><""""
小朋友讀書的費用真係唔少嘢,不過又唔慳得......
ReplyDelete所以家下做父母的就更加唔容易了,大家一起努力 ~
