zhēnde！ jiāzhǎng dōu xiǎng ràng háizi shàng zhòngdiǎn xuéxiào ā。 It's true! All parents want their kids to go to a prestigious school.
A:
话是这么说，可我不同意基础教育分成重点学区和一般学区这事儿。 huà shì zhèmeshuō， kě wǒ bù tóngyì jīchǔ jiàoyù fēn chéng zhòngdiǎn xuéqū hé yībān xuéqū zhè shìr5。 That's what they say, but I don't agree with basic education being divided into prestigious school districts and normal school districts.
B:
虽然投资了学区房，不过我也同意你的观点。 suīrán tóuzī le xuéqū fáng， bùguò wǒ yě tóngyì nǐ de guāndiǎn。 Although I've invested in a school district, I agree with your point of view.
A:
简单说，就是不公平。 jiǎndān shuō， jiùshì bùgōngping。 Simply speaking, it's just not fair.
B:
没错，但这也是满足家长对学习的要求，谁不想要“最好的学习效果”呢 。 méicuò， dàn zhè yě shì mǎnzú jiāzhǎng duì xuéxí de yāoqiú， shéi bù xiǎngyào“ zuìhǎo de xuéxí xiàoguǒ” ne。 That's right, but this was also done to satisfy the demands of parents towards study, who doesn't want the most efficient form of study?
A:
这也是你的投资能成功的根本原因吧！ zhè yě shì nǐ de tóuzī néng chénggōng de gēnběn yuányīn ba！ This is also the basic reason that your investment was successful!
B:
哈哈，说的是！ hāhā， shuōdeshì！
