昨天和同事在外面吃饭。吃完饭之后，我们在公司附近溜达。
我们溜达得比较远，经过了一所小学。小学附近，到处都是文具店、书店和培训机构。
我们一路走一路看，发现这些培训机构的情况各不相同。有的还挺热闹，有的却已经关门大吉了。
我们路过一家书画培训机构。这家机构里面装修得挺好，外面张贴了很多学员的毛笔书法作品和国画作品。
然而，它的门却已经被大锁锁死。上面贴着一则通知，写着由于回款或经营不善等原因，该机构将暂时关闭一到两个月。
意思就是，这家机构的老板打算先关门，进行内部调整，后期是否重新开门，静待通知。
我估计这个机构里，有很多学员的课时都还没有消完。想必这些家长和机构老板之间，少不了一番拉扯。
所以说，现在家长给孩子在外面报辅导培训班，真的要谨慎。不要因为年包课时费活动力度大，就一口气报一年两年的课时。
最好按照季度、半年，或者一两个月的周期来报名。这样就算万一机构跑路，损失也不会太大。
而且报名机构时，最好选择在教育机构后台备案过的白名单上的机构。像很多新创立、没有在教育局备案的小培训机构，建议还是不要报名。
毕竟这类机构不正规，且创立时间短，远不如那些有着十几年、二十几年历史的老牌机构稳定。
我觉得门口那几张国画孔雀画得挺有意思，一看就是小朋友的作品，画得也很好看，我就把它们拍了下来。同时，也为这家关门的机构感到惋惜。
Yesterday, I had dinner with colleagues outside. After the meal, we took a walk near the company.
We walked quite far and passed by an elementary school. Around the school, there were stationery stores, bookshops, and training institutions everywhere.
As we strolled along, we noticed the training institutions showed mixed fortunes. Some were bustling, while others had already closed down.
We passed by a calligraphy and painting training institute. The interior was nicely decorated, and many brush calligraphy works and traditional Chinese paintings by students were posted outside.
However, its door was locked with a big padlock. A notice stated that due to payment issues or poor management, the institute would be temporarily closed for one to two months.
The message was that the owner planned to shut down first for internal adjustments, and whether it would reopen later would be announced.
I guess many students in this institute still had unused class hours. I imagine there will be a lot of back-and-forth between these parents and the institute's owner.
Therefore, parents should be cautious when signing up their children for training outside. Don’t sign up for a one or two-year package just because of a large discount on course fees.
It’s better to sign up quarterly, semi-annually, or monthly. This way, even if the institute closes abruptly, the loss won’t be too big.
Also, when choosing an institute, opt for those on the white list registered with the education authority. It’s advisable to avoid newly established small training institutes that haven’t been filed with the education bureau.
After all, such institutes are unregulated, have a short history, and lack the stability of established ones with ten or twenty years of experience.
I thought the traditional Chinese paintings of peacocks at the door were quite interesting. They were clearly painted by children and looked lovely, so I took photos of them. Meanwhile, I felt sorry for this closed institute.
