(本文为大概文本,并非与视频完全一致!)

Why are parents in such a rush to get a school place for their children? Because if they are not in a hurry, they'll have to pay more.
为什么父母这么急于为孩子选择学校呢？因为如果他们不这么匆忙，他们就要花更多钱。

Children are supposed to go to the primary school in the district where they live. Choosing other schools means paying extra application fees.
孩子的小学应该在他们所住的地区读。选择其他学校意味着要附额外的申请费。

Choosing a school which is already in full recruitment also means paying the fee.
选择一个已经招满学生的学校也要附额外费用。

And choose the best school costs more as well.
而选择最好的学校同样也要花费更多。

But there's no answer.
但是没有答案。
