How to choose a school district by top, middle, and bottom tier

The 'Dad's Ruined' project, which the author is personally carrying out, has attracted a lot of attention as many readers follow suit.
Rather than taking the 7-year-old civil service exam course, the suggestion was to live in a non-school district when the child is young and buy an apartment in a medium- to high-school district in advance.
The result? Despite the private education craze, parents were able to maintain a sense of balance and provide their children with a proper education. They also benefited from rising apartment prices due to rising inflation.


The conclusion of this book is that there is no need to come to Gangnam blindly.
It would be better to study in a rural atmosphere during elementary school and then, if your grades are good, move to an apartment in the school district.
If it's not for studying, you can rent out an apartment you bought in the past or convert it into an income-generating property.
The money saved without spending all your money on private education can later be used for children's study abroad funds, business funds, and even retirement funds for parents.


Moving to a prestigious school district tailored to your family's financial situation
A nuclear storm of regular expansion! 19 prestigious school districts with a grand outlook!

So, which school district should you buy an apartment in? In this book, the author presents two criteria: "rental rate" and "funds available."


First, (1) it provides guidance on the appropriate timing for buying and selling based on the market price of apartments in school districts compared to the jeonse rate, and (2) it selects 19 prestigious school districts based on available funds and presents apartment market prices and entrance exam results to help readers make their own choices.

In particular, we seek alternatives to overcome the polarization of school districts due to the policy of expanding regular admissions and the declining birth rate.
We provide guidance to help parents find the best school district for their circumstances, and we help parents think about purchasing a home that will not only prepare for their retirement but also provide a good education for their children.


Introduction to apartments located near prestigious middle and high schools
Seoul National University + Medical School Admissions Summary! Recommended School Districts for Local Talent!

Just as grades are the key to success, entrance exam results create excellent school districts.
This book provides information on apartments assigned to prestigious middle and high schools based on entrance exam results.
In line with the recent trend of preferring the medical field, we are introducing school districts recommended for local talent, which can be of great help not only in planning your child's college entrance strategy but also in purchasing an apartment in a school district.


A renowned instructor in Daechi-dong, Gangnam with over 20 years of experience,
Korea's first school district specialized book published!

After majoring in Oriental History at Seoul National University, he received a master's degree in English Education from Hanyang University Graduate School.
At the 'Da-na-eum Research Institute,' he led educational theory and practice meetings with parents, and taught English in Daechi-dong, helping numerous students advance to prestigious universities.
However, seeing children becoming increasingly apathetic in the classroom and students who graduated from good universities but were unable to find jobs made me reflect on what true education is.
Having experienced the illusion of Gangnam education that ruins children despite spending money, I decided to stop the trend of people going all-in on private education without preparing for retirement.


Hundreds of families counseled and school districts nationwide,
Complete school district map based on big data from college entrance exam results!

While writing a customized college entrance strategy, study, and parenting book for working-class families, I had the opportunity to provide various educational consultations, and many parents asked me where they should move for their children.
To help them in their desperate situation, I personally visited the school and investigated the apartments assigned to them.
As I accumulated expertise in my major, entrance exam education, and school district analysis, I naturally became the only school district expert in Korea.


An apartment that solves both education and retirement at the same time?

Gangnam is not the only option for South Korean women.
For most working class families, the barriers to entry into Gangnam are high, making it difficult to even try.
This book advises families who are anxious and feeling guilty about forcing a move to take a break.
When considering the future of children and the old age of parents, there is clearly an alternative that provides a good education and keeps housing prices from falling.
The author says that even parents unfamiliar with college entrance exam trends and real estate information can use this book to find the optimal school district on their own.
If you've been wasting time and money without any direction, open up a school district map right now.
You will discover a shortcut that will allow you to enjoy both educational benefits and economic benefits.
