My son is going to goverment kindergarden too, but we was not asked for administration fee. we pay every month about 500-600rmb including food. the washrooms are there pretty same, but he still like it, it is his 2nd year, some they call it middle class, or some like this. the problem is comming now, as they forcing the kids to use chopstick at lunch. we have never used them at home, so we slowly trying to teach him, but he is like me. when something do not like, there is no way to push him into. he refusing to use or try to use chopstick. after 2 weeks, there was a small victory of my wife efforts, and he tried a bit a catch some small piece of meat. thats all till now. I said but that's a bit crazy. chopsticks, the thousands years old way how to eat is outdated, and it shall not be forced into kids. When I asked teacher several times, let they talk with principal and do some small effort and allow the kids to change shoes upon arrival and when leaving, it was denied "as too difficult to proceed". yes, too troubles. they even no need to assist, kids can simply change their outside / inside shoes easily by themself. they even have the small cabinets, where they store their cloth and some things, but are forced to stay all the day in same shoes, which is not healthy for feet development. and second, the way to that kindegarden is in night turning into street restaurants, and morning lot of breakfest stalls and shops. add to that those thousands of spitting people, cars with running engines and catching customers on sidewalks.. they bring that dirt and bacteria from street on the shoes, in which they stay all day and they sit on the floor where they step with those dirty shoes... No, no way to explain to them, how bad it is. but using chopsticks is a must, even for some parents we have talk with. so we cut other "freinds" and do not talk with many anymore...
