Kuan says that a lot of parents think design just means drawing or painting, and they let their kids go into the department because the kids have always loved fine arts. Then there are parents who go by the "process of elimination." Their child is bad at math, English, science, and the humanities, so he or she might as well study design!
官政能指出，部分家長將繪畫等同於設計，他們之所以讓孩子走設計這條路，是因為孩子從小喜歡畫畫；還有一種家長是採「消去法」，因為孩子數學不好、英文不好、理化與文史都不好，只好讓他來學設計。
