答案 One Major Problem Resulting from the Sponsorship Fee Nowadays we often hear or see that besides what’s stipulated by the Compulsory Education Law, some parents pay additional fees such as the sponsorship fee or even the fee for electing a school in order to send their children to an ideal school or even a kindergarten. Although this widespread practice is [1] brought to light over and over again by a variety of media, it [2] is here to stay. Most parents hold that if their children cannot attend a good primary school, they cannot attend a good secondary school, let alone a good college or university, so they would gladly pay all kinds of fees so long as their children get a good start. On the other hand, schools [3] with an enviable reputation are even more [4] willing to charge some fees since they need sums of money to keep their good reputation, retain their first-rate teachers, extend the school building and [5] so forth. Although both parents and schools seem to be able to [6] justify themselves, one major problem arises from the sponsorship fee. [7] In a broad sense, the phenomenon would lead to social injustice. Let me put it in this way. The additional and arbitrary charges would render educational resources more and more unbalanced — more and more funds and qualified teachers would flow into famous schools and ordinary schools would lag far behind, the inevitable and immediate consequence [8] of which would be that famous schools would attract more students than ordinary schools, which [9] givs birth to the so-called [10] Matthew Effect: the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. It is unfair for the ordinary schools. On the other hand, parents who cannot afford the sponsorship fee, such as rural migrant workers, have to send their children to schools that don’t charge too high, but of course have a relatively low teaching level. Therefore, compared with children born by well-to-do parents, children [11] from disadvantaged families are deprived of the right to get equal education. They are the victims of injustice. To our delight, millions of rural students in our country are [12] exempted from paying tuitions and incidental fees during their nine-year compulsory education, but we [13] still have a long way to go before a sound education system is set up and put into practice. At present our government should put more money on education, allocate education resources reasonably and fairly, ensure the poor’s right to receive equal education and thus essentially realize social equality.
