'Higher! Jump higher!' Chinese parents pay jump-rope tutors to help their children to pass the nation's annual jump-rope exam.

BEIJING—Chinese parents spend dearly on private tutoring for their children to get a jump on national math and language exams, the gateway to advancement and a better life.

Susan Zhang, a 34-year-old mother in China’s capital, is among a smaller group forking out big bucks for jump-rope lessons. She said she couldn’t understand why her 6-year-old daughter Tangtang couldn’t string together two skips in a row after three months of trying. The girl needed professional help.

Don’t tell them free knowledge and AI are pretty much taking the wheel for the rest of eternity. Yep all you need to do as a human being is eat right, exercise, make cleaner choices and avoid wars - but something tells me we’ll screw that up. So yeah skipping rope sounds cool

China is a factory of future robo-humans, out there to destroy humanness from every walk of life including sports!

Govt owns kids. Now the communists are forcing couple to have kids. GDP != humanitarian progress in communist nations.

School districts struggle to establish COVID-19 testing, frustrating parentsSome parents are angry that some school districts have not developed plans to test students or even require masks to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
