- noisy_boy 4y agoAll that'll do is break-up the organized tuition system (which may be a good thing and probably has the biggest impact in organized tuition-crazy places like China) and encourage small-scale/individual setups (also may be a good thing but depends). How will you ban individuals across the globe offering lessons over Zoom? That is what has been the net result of the ban as per the article - people are resorting to "underground" means. Plus a ban only extends to within a country so people in other countries will go right ahead with their tuition. Competition is global and such bans, beyond dismantling the tuition "business" and putting up hurdles in front of parent's craze for the rat-race, don't do much. Nobody is talking about the root cause, which is the fear of unemployment due to scarcity of opportunities. All the while, the very well-off will continue to manage perfectly with plenty of workarounds available to them, as usual. All these bans would do to create another class of have's and have not's.
