Tabl e 6 Emphasize a certain aspect of relation from two schools

Value of fuzzy
decisions Strategy School Relation

Strategy 1 A 15.76 A < B

Emphasis on Teacher B 16.18

Strategy 2 A 11.61 A < B

Emphasis on Administration B 16.82

Strategy 3 A 14.13 A > B

Emphasis on Environment B 14.01

Strategy 4 A 15.63 A < B

Emphasis on Curriculum B 16.11

2. The fuzzy value of school's quality of School A is different from School B.
school B parents' satisfaction compared with the overall quality of education
of school A parents' satisfaction:

Index qualityo f A ( 3 . 3761 ) < Index qualityo f B ( 3 . 9868 )

3. School A and B parents estimate the quality of education at all levels of
satisfaction: If some parents select school A, they should give priority to the
Curriculum; if some parents select school B, they should give priority to the
Administration.
4. The comparative result of strategy is different from two schools in each aspect, as
shown in Table 6 . In strategy, we get the conclusion that school A is only superior
to school B in Environment.
