What are the school districts in foreign countries like?

Parents in China believe, no, in the sentence "Children can't lose at the starting line"! So in ancient times, Meng Mu moved three times, but now, buying a school district house has become a major event.

The legendary 1 1 square meter is the most expensive school district, with a total price of nearly 5 million.

School district housing can be said to be the eternal pain in the hearts of parents in China.

A few days ago, the policy of renting and purchasing the same rights was implemented. Renting a house has the same right to enjoy education, especially education, and all kinds of discussions came up at once.

Some people say that the promotion of the right to rent and purchase has solved the housing problem in the school district, and the housing price problem in China has also been solved! The importance of school district housing to the domestic real estate market can be seen!

Others said that they would use 3,000 yuan rent to solve the problem of 8 million yuan school district housing? Is it possible? Reality? There are so many educational resources, even if the right to rent and purchase is the same, it is impossible for every child to afford the best school. Therefore, the queue should still be lined up, and the lottery should still be shaken, and the eggs are useless.

United States of America

Buying a school district house is also full of blood and tears!

Legend has it that the concept of school district housing in the United States is not as serious as that of parents in China, so it is rare to buy high-priced housing simply for choosing a school. However, in fact?

Look at the following experiences of China elites in Silicon Valley-

I didn't know until I came to the United States that, like China, schools are hierarchical. Houses are also divided into school districts and non-school districts.

After studying for a long time, I found a good school district with a score of 10 from primary school to high school, and paid a down payment, with a total price of10 million US dollars. Although a little old, it was built in 1950, but it is an independent house with a small yard, which is quite comfortable to live in.

Children also like this school district, saying that the school teachers are good and the school activities are rich.

But a few years after I moved, I was "injured" in a chat with my neighbor.

My neighbor told me that a few years ago, the high school in our school district only scored 7 points. Later, the government may have raised a large number of schools with scores of 7, 8 and 9 to 10 in order to alleviate everyone's anxiety about choosing schools!

After returning home, I quickly searched the internet for information about my counterpart high school and found: Sure enough! Although its curriculum, ethnic proportion and other scores are very high, but only in the proportion of admitted to a good university far behind the real top high school.

Gosh, if we look at the hard index of "enrollment rate" that China people value most, this high school is obviously a "false focus"!

In order to alleviate the anxiety of choosing a school, the government should do such a thing. What's the difference between this and painting green paint on barren hills in China?

Moreover, the experience of this Silicon Valley elite is not over yet.

Later, after a lot of hardships, I inquired with my friends, looked up information on the Internet, and made a field trip ... He finally found a house with an "excellent" location in the neighborhood near the famous Stanford University.

However, its style is like this

The house is very broken, the side walls are smashed, covered with blue canvas, and the roof has many cracks and is crumbling. ...

But even so, the people who look at the house are still in an endless stream, and the long queue of cars has been discharged from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. In the words of the broker, "What does it matter? Anyway, it is necessary to overthrow the reconstruction. "

This is a fact, so the Silicon Valley elite gave an offer without saying anything, and then ...

A few days later, I drove my mother around the "ideal home". I stepped on the accelerator and drove two intersections. My mother exclaimed, "Wow, there is a cemetery here!"

I looked intently and said, "This is not a graveyard. In the United States, it must be called a cemetery. "

In a place close to the ideal home, there is actually a cemetery with an area comparable to that of a large park in the motherland.

I went to my agent to complain, and the agent said, "That's what Americans do. The centers of many small towns are built around cemeteries. You can't walk around where you move. "

My mother thought and thought, and finally made a firm statement: For the sake of my grandson's great future, let the cemetery be a cemetery. I will regard it as a park. Maybe I can turn Artest into a collection of rivers.

But even so, ...

Just after overcoming the psychological barrier here, the agent there called again with a sad face, saying that the ideal home had soared to $654.38 +0.3 million because there were too many people robbing it (second-hand houses in the United States are all auctioned, and the highest bidder wins). What's more, the owners don't accept loans, but only cash. ...

I'm not a local tyrant, where can I get so much cash?

In the next few months, we met many bad stories (accidents) about buying a house-

For example, there is a hillside, the asking price is "only" 1.4 million, but after careful inquiry, it is found that if you want to build a house on it, you will have to pay an extra 400 thousand for land survey alone; Building a house will cost another six or seven hundred thousand yuan.

There is also a set of "villa", asking price 1.6 million. We drove over the mountains for more than half an hour, and once the car got stuck in a mud pit on the side of the road and could hardly be pulled out. As a result, I finally came to a picturesque "cowshed" on the top of the mountain with air leakage everywhere. ...

Did you get a look at him? It is said that school districts in the United States are not expensive, so they have to compare with other places.

Compared with the school district in Beijing, it may be a little cheaper, but compared with any second-and third-tier cities in China, it is definitely far beyond!

Basically, if you want to go to a public school in the United States, the higher the house price, the better the school.
