* Achieved first place in the entire school without an academy and reached science high school with only 80,000 won
* The secret to passing the science high school entrance exam that received enthusiastic responses from parents at the entrance exam cafe is revealed.

* Strongly recommended by Eom Myeong-ja, "Elementary School Mom's Social Distancing Rules," and Bae Hye-rim, "Textbooks Are Stronger Than Private Education."

Reduce private education that is difficult for both parents and children
The power to leap to the top tier!

During the entrance exam season for gifted high schools (gifted high schools + science high schools), numerous questions from parents flood into various entrance exam cafes.
"Will a B in math or science mean I'll fail?" "Are girls at a disadvantage when applying to science high schools?" "How much help should I get from a private academy when writing my personal statement?" The bulletin boards are filled with inquiries from those who have been accepted, desperate for information.
Among the numerous posts, the author received an enthusiastic response for posting 'From the beginning of preparing for science high school through the final interview and acceptance review', and continues to provide various educational consultations to parents to this day, diligently answering their questions.

"No Private Education for My Child" contains all the know-how on how an ordinary mother was able to send her child to a science high school "without private education."
He generously shares the essential elements that make children study well, the essence that parents of our time are missing, and the study attitude that children must learn at home.

Many parents think, 'I hope my child does well in school.'
However, most parents believe that they have done their part by filling their children's cram school schedules tightly and paying expensive private education fees.
It's an easy effort in the wrong direction, and it's not the secret to good study habits that your child needs.
The author has seen countless cases where children's academic stress reaches its peak and the relationship between the child and the caregiver is ruined due to the wrong study habits of parents commonly seen around them.
Therefore, I strongly argue that parents who truly care about their children must invest time and effort in things that cannot be measured in money.
If you've ever wondered, "How can I raise a child who studies well?", this book will provide you with another answer you may not have thought of before.

Into the book
I want to share with you how we can raise children who excel in their studies and how we can make children and parents happier and less stressed.
I want to alleviate parents' anxiety about their children's education and the pain caused by private education expenses.
I want to help children study more efficiently, achieve what they put in, and dream of a more fulfilling future.
---From “Opening Remarks_To Parents Who Are Tired and Anxious About Their Children’s Studies”

The biggest weakness of parents who haven't studied is that they don't have the judgment to discern the fake in the flood of indiscriminate words.
It feels like there's not a single word that's wrong, so I take my child here and there and move around busily.
Meanwhile, the child's feelings about studying become uncontrollable, and he or she begins to distrust his or her inconsistent parents.
---From "Chapter 1: The Fierce Desire to Get Ahead"

Speed ​​doesn't matter.
You can't find gems at a fast pace.
We need to recognize and distinguish between what appears plausible but is in fact ineffective.
If you want your child to discover a gem, parents must first study how to study.
This way, we can lead effectively without engaging in unnecessary wars of attrition.
---From "Chapter 1: The Fierce Desire to Get Ahead"

Instead of just dreaming of an ideal world and leaving it to the academy, you should study and make your own decisions.
You also need to have a fierce conversation with your child.
You need to know everything about your child's desired career path, the department and university requirements for that career path, and the grades and CSAT scores required to achieve that goal.
Don't expect anyone else to do this for you.
And throughout this entire process, we must continue to be mindful and adjust to ensure that the gap between ideals and reality does not widen significantly.
This will help your child make a soft landing on their goal.
---From "Chapter 1: The Fierce Desire to Get Ahead"

It is more important to be a parent who allows your child to ask questions at any time than to provide logical and scientific explanations to your child's questions without any hesitation.
Think about your attitude toward listening to your child's questions.
Have you ever given vague answers while using your smartphone, put off asking your dad or mom about such things, told them to learn about them at school, or avoided them by saying they would understand when they grew up?
Surely you weren't going to get annoyed and tell me to stop asking?
---From "Chapter 2: The Power of Conversation: More Powerful Than You Think"

Studying is difficult and tiring, and there is a big difference between doing it knowing clearly what you need to do and doing it without knowing.
There's a huge difference between doing something because you're told to do it and doing it with an understanding of what it will do for you.
You must recognize that the power of persuasion is tremendous.
---From "Chapter 2: The Power of Conversation: More Powerful Than You Think"

If parents have no subjectivity and cannot trust their own judgment, they will be swayed by even the slightest breeze, and like dominoes, their children will inevitably be swayed as well.
What kind of results can you hope for in a situation where you can't commit to something with sincerity and consistency, where you can't achieve what you want in a stable manner? You can't raise a child successfully with judgment that accepts everything others say without worry or criticism.
---From "Chapter 3_The Value of the Invisible"

The problem is that when we see a child studying for their grade level, we see them as a child who is not good at studying, a child who is late, or a child who is lacking in something.
It is right time, not too late.
Everyone is running so far ahead of us now that it seems like the right thing is slow.
---From "Chapter 4: Overcoming Private Education and the Road to the Top"

Textbooks are clear texts written at a level of difficulty that takes into account the cognitive development of the student.
This is a book that experts have created by racking their brains and researching.
But I don't read the textbook.
You say the concept is so important, but you don't read the textbook.
The test will be based on textbook content, so it doesn't make sense to expect students to study well without even reading the textbook.
There is no such shortcut.
---From "Chapter 4: Overcoming Private Education and the Road to the Top"

Knowledge is widespread in the world.
Don't just listen to what's nice to hear, what's easy to hear, what suits your taste. Listen to the experts, the people who talk about the essence.
It is harder than you think to believe in your child and maintain your resolve without being swayed by worldly trends and words.
---From "Closing Note_How to Protect My Child in an Overheated World"

Publisher's Review
A science high school that costs 100 million won to pass
Mom's secret to passing the exam with just 80,000 won!

"What's certain is that private education wasn't important."

There is a news article titled [160 million won per person spent on private education in preparation for Yeongwa High School].
Since even the news talks about this level of private education expenses as if it were normal, parents think they should spend at least 100 million won, if not 160 million won, on private education.
Taking advantage of this atmosphere, private academies are exploiting parents' anxieties by talking about their children's future, and mothers are pouring money into it as if competing with each other.

The author concluded that the academy never truly cared about his child.
Also, with the determination not to ruin his interest in studying with excessive private education from a young age, he did not get swayed by the surrounding atmosphere and sent his son to a science high school for only 80,000 won without an academy.
This 80,000 won was also spent on purchasing online lectures explaining previous year's exam questions while preparing for the science high school exam, and I did not receive any help from the academy.
Everyone said it wouldn't work, but by getting my child into a science high school, I was able to show that I could raise a child who excels in school without private tutoring.

“What I want to say is this.
There is no need to give up on private education because of the cost.
It's money you don't necessarily have to spend.
And there is no telling when you should start, nor when you should finish studying.
There is no manual for the entrance exam to Younggwa High School.
“There is no manual for progress that neighborhood mothers and private academy students talk about, such as, ‘You must enter advanced mathematics by the end of the sixth grade of elementary school, complete all advanced mathematics electives in middle school, and complete all two science courses in physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, and prepare for various competitions.’” (p. 83)

The author says that any child can excel in their studies if their parents provide them with the right learning environment.
Even an ordinary mother can effectively teach her child at any level of learning difficulty up to elementary and middle school without going to an academy, and her child can focus solely on studying without comparing himself to others.
What matters is how much time and effort you put into your child. You shouldn't think that you've fulfilled your responsibility by leaving the role of parent to a private academy.

The author, while raising a child from a single-parent household, has honestly written about the efforts she has made and the things she has learned in college entrance exam cafes, such as “A Senior Mom to Parents of Upper Elementary School Students” and “A Mother’s Heart and the Science High School Entrance Exam for a Single-parent Child,” and has received much sympathy and support.
In addition to these experiences and counseling cases from those around you, the book includes useful information that can be applied to different situations and times in daily life, such as 'Things you must do when your child cannot keep up with school progress', 'Things you must do with your child on test day', and 'How to deal with troubles that arise from using electronic devices', so that you can minimize your worries about your child's education.

What if you pour money into private education but your grades don't improve?

Parents directly fill in their children's learning gaps
An educational method that reduces private education costs and study stress!

Many families struggle with the burden of private education costs, and children are exhausted in the face of fierce competition. However, the suffering caused by private education can certainly be reduced.
In "No Private Education for My Child," methods for maintaining a child's interest in studying without private education are clearly organized by chapter.
The author says that parents can reduce private education costs and study stress by working together as a team to identify and address their children's learning deficiencies, encourage those who struggle with their studies, and practice rigorous performance assessments together.
In this process, not only does the relationship between parents and children become stronger, but by observing the child grow through trial and error, they also learn the right learning method that is right for the child.

Parents must see the essence of studying, which can never be solved through private education.
In order to learn these invisible values ​​well, the family must be harmonious and communication between family members must be active.
Only then can they ultimately grow into happy children who study well.
Parents must directly teach their children the virtues that are essential for academic success, such as responsibility, self-control, sincerity, and attitude, which can only be fostered at home.
In other words, the point that the author emphasizes most is that children study in a happy atmosphere with stable emotions.

Behind every child who shines like a jewel, there are always parents who make that child shine brightly.
Children need adults who provide them with a warm gaze, constant encouragement, and support, providing them with a strong foundation.
Only parents can truly provide an educational environment that is beneficial to their children.
"There is no private education for my child" conveys the sincere hope that there will be more parents like that in the world.
This book will serve as an excellent compass for all parents concerned about their children's education, showing them the direction they truly need for their children's education.
