In Western society the children would move with the parents and attend a school close to where the parents live. I remember my family moved every 1.5 years as my father had a new job offer. And it was not just a few miles it was all over the USA. Alabama, to New Mexico, to New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Missouri, and then to Connecticut and I was nine in Connecticut. The parents are not irresponsible, the state should make efforts to allow the children to attend schools close to where their parents live and work.
I’ve lived in China for quite a considerable time including my graduate school years, travelled and worked in a few cities and still choose my destination taking into consideration the density of smog or PM2.5 particulate matter in the region.
