The cost of running small privately operated schools is exorbitant. The director and parents spend a great deal of energy to raise funds and with tuition ringing in at more than NT $ 100,000 per year, these schools seem to be in danger of becoming just another kind of "school for the upper crust," as they remain out of the financial reach of most parents.
然而這種私立小型學校，教育成本高昂，不僅校長與家長得耗費巨大心力在經費的籌募上，每年學費更高達十多萬元，儼然變成另一種「貴族學校」，一般家長即使心嚮往之，也無力跨進門檻。
