I agree, although in theory.

It would a different set of priorities for a single child whose parents toiled in government factories (or even to till land - often migrating across countries to work just because they were 'transferred'). The culture of aspiring to be an artist or a 'non-professional' (defined locally as not one who brings a pay check every month; not the freelancer kind) has yet to be cultivated. (The irony is - pre communism era was the opposite; it was artists all around)
