It seems to me that they often do it during week days, but not during the week-end. However, during holidays, they often put the kids to follow some classes even during the week-end.

Many expect them to learn a musical instrument or the like. If the parents own a business the child once old enough may be expected to work long hours in that business. Children of Chinese parents in Australia on average spend far more time on their studies than the rest of the population. Almost all who can afford it, and the parents work very hard to make this happen, have tutors as well. This effort shows out with the percentage of high achievers academically who are from Chinese origins being largely dispraportionate to the percentage of the population. Many Chinese both in China and abroad work very hard to achieve their goals (or to get enough money to gamble away)

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
