These conditions make it difficult for children to transfer to other schools later on. In order to deal with this problem, it is common for the wife and children to stay in Taiwan while the husband flies back and forth; if the whole family goes to Penang they must settle for a local Chinese or English school.
有些家庭為了孩子教育問題，只好分住二地﹘﹘主婦、小孩留在台灣，做父親的「空中飛人」般兩頭跑；全家同來的則多讓子女就讀當地英文或華文學校。
