Says Jonathan Barnard, whose daughters are five and three years old, "I worry that Taiwan's education system, with its emphasis on rote memorization and its pressure-cooker tests, would cast a gloom over their lives. I would like to have my kids go to the American School, but it's extremely expensive in Taiwan, so we may move to the States in a few years."
「我憂慮台灣的教育，填鴨式的教育、考試的深淵，讓孩子的未來蒙上一層陰影。我希望我的孩子上美國學校，但是台灣的美國學校非常昂貴，這意味著在幾年內我可能遷回美國」，目前兩個女兒分別為五歲、三歲的柏松年說。
