132: The Cost of "For Your Own Good": The Many Faces of Parents Amidst Educational Anxiety

In recent years, "reducing burden" and "fairness" have become keywords in education policy, and various regions across the country have adopted "random computer lottery" methods for student admissions at the "kindergarten-to-primary" and "primary-to-middle" stages. However, parents' anxiety has not diminished much as a result. Around the "lottery," tragedies and comedies of joy and sorrow always unfold, and many families inevitably fall into feelings of pain and helplessness. This episode invites an expert in adolescent development and family education planning to discuss her unique observations of parents and children in the "lottery" era, and to share her personal reflections and advice.
