TPO28: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Parents today are more involved in their children’s education than were parents in the past.

As the time marches into the 21st century, dramatic social changes in economy, politics and as well as education, have occurred. People now are placing an ever increasing value on education, due to the improved economic condition and awareness of education significance. Therefore, I agree with the statement that parents today do pay more attention to their children' education than parents before.

First of all, families today input more financial resources into their children's education. The tuition fees are much more expensive now than that decades ago, at present, the percentage of college graduates added to the workforce is much larger than that of ten years ago, even five years ago. According to reliable statistics conducted by Chinese newspapers, money spent on children's education accounts for a third or even a half of an average Chinese family's total expenditure in one year. Consequently, this demonstrates that parents today are investing more financially to their children's education.

Secondly, the majority of current parents were born after 1970s when the world was experiencing a profound social revolution that improved the general society level to a great extent. During that time, contemporary media like TV, radio were invented and being widely used by families in the whole world. Thus today's parents, who lived through the 70s or 80s as a child or teenager, are equipped with a more open and more informative mind. They conclude from their experience that knowledge can change one's destiny and studying helps achieve a life’s success ( a successful life). Thus present parents have a better understanding about education's importance to their children than parents in the past.

In addition, the current general lower birth rate has influenced parents' attitude towards their children's education. For the last twenty years, many western countries have undergone much lower or negative population growth. And DINK families are treated as a popular trend. In China, the One Child Policy was initiated since 1980s, as a result, most Chinese families now only have one child. Such is human nature, that the parents will sacrifice their own comfortable life to provide the best for their children. Also, with only one child instead of three or four, the parents today are able to focus their efforts and resources on raising their children. Cultivate 也有培养的意思，但是表示养育教育小孩用raise 更合适

To sum up, I hold the opinion that parents today are more involved in their children's education. This is caused mainly by general society advancement, slower population growth, and above all, the patents themselves are better educated than their counterparts in the past.
