The odd thing is that these are parents who voluntarily placed their children in the experimental class. "So you see, though they want a lively and open education for the kids," the parents also fear that the kids don't learn as much as in traditional rote learning, and that "experimental education isn't enough."
這班家長雖然多係主動選擇加入的，「但既要活潑、開放，又怕抄寫等傳統練習不夠」，反應出家長「又期待又怕受傷害」的心情。
