This year's hottest topic in Beijing kindergarten to primary school.
The primary school enrollment method adopts "registration and enrollment first", emphasizing the "combination of single-school zoning and multi-school zoning", rather than biting the tone of "multi-school zoning".
Beijing's parent crowd is boiling.
My friend cautiously asked me: Is this understandable that in the future, my room in Xicheng can allow children to enter the opposite school at the door?
The reason why this friend is so worried is because in the past three years, Beijing Kindergarten to Primary School has been implementing the admission policy of "multi-school zoning". And the execution is very strong -
This has brought all kinds of pain to parents to go to school -
A friend spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a house in a direct promotion community in order to go to Chaoyang's best Chen Jinglun headquarters, and the volunteer was very smooth, which made him mistakenly think that everything was stable, and the admission list was announced, and the child was transferred to a campus a few kilometers away...
On the same day, he called all his friends, saying that he had difficulties in picking up and dropping off, and wanted to communicate with the school leaders, but he was temporarily clinging to his feet and was unable to return to heaven at all.
I persuaded him to open a little: Although you are not enrolled in the main department, at least you have not fallen out of Chen Jinglun's lineage.
Unlike a friend from before, the child was assigned to a new suburban branch of a school, the red brick bungalow school building has a retro feel of the 80s, the billboard glass is broken, and the wall is hung with black soot.
The pick-up and drop-off will take more than ten kilometers, and it will pass through a village. Every two Thursdays and six major gatherings, everyone directly sets up stalls on the street to sell vegetables, a road is blocked and impassable, and the public traffic is powerless...
What people learn is really called a test.

Parents of second children face more complicated and tangled problems with their children's schooling...
My friend is a mother of two children, and the two children in the family are three years apart.
She has no parents to rely on for her own baby, so in order to facilitate pick-up and drop-off, she planned to send her two children to the same school very early. And in order to allow the child to get Haidian school registration, he did not hesitate to let the boss give up the free public school (multi-school zoning and lottery, and the result of the promotion is uncertain), and moved to a private school with an annual tuition fee of 100,000 yuan.
She played her wishful thinking very well, and Erbao went through the process of going directly to her brother when she enrolled in school, but she didn't expect that after just two years of study, her brother encountered the reform of public participation and civil participation, and the school changed from private to public overnight, which directly blocked Erbao's way to go to school across districts.
This means that the next 2 children will be in different schools. If the boss wants to continue his studies in the original school, he will also face the transfer of the district.
This is an almost impossible challenge for a two-child family -
Even if you have your parents to help, you can't count on the distance of pick-up. Electric vehicles can't be ridden, and electric three-wheelers are not legal. Sometimes I have to walk on the road at high speed, and I have to be scared...
Many second-child families around me still relied on taxis and carpooling to make do at first, but the cost was high and cumbersome, and finally they quit their jobs and went home full-time to take care of their babies.
It's really hard for parents under multi-school zoning, but it can't be solved.
In 16 years, the second child was released, and the number of newborns suddenly skyrocketed, and these children were crowded into school in 23 years. According to data released by the Haidian District Education Commission, the number of students enrolled in 23 years exceeded 40,000, and the number of places was 12,000.
The school is crazy about expanding classes, and some grades are even close to 20, but due to the upper limit of the hardware area, it can't absorb the growth in the peak year.
In the end, we can only use various ways to limit the number of students enrolled, and the original requirements for household registration and real estate have been raised to the building number of the school district, and even the number of years of holding...
And now the policy is loose, without it, just because the fertility rate continues to decline after 17 years, there are fewer school-age children, and parents have become the first party of education.
The enrollment pressure of Niu Xiao has become smaller, and ordinary public schools do not need to consider expanding classes, and some will even face dissatisfaction with recruitment, and even some will face school closure, just like the situation in kindergartens in the past two years.
Before Beijing's top public kindergarten, it was not something that ordinary people could remember at all, and last year it actually handed an olive branch to the "social recruitment"...
If the students are not satisfied, there is naturally no need to transfer the enrollment, and the multi-school zoning policy will gradually become inapplicable. This year's news is an indication of attitude.
However, attitude is attitude. Whether you can enroll in the final depends on what kind of school you are in. Scarce resources such as Experimental No. 2 Primary School and Hongmiao, if the junior high school can go straight to the corresponding middle school, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a child no matter how few.

A lot of people pay attention to school district housing. After the cancellation of multi-school zoning, will it affect the price of housing in the school district?
Some people think that housing prices will rebound and top school district housing will be popular. My personal opinion is that the market will not skyrocket and the market will stabilize. There are several reasons for this:
First, the stock of household demand decreases.
The reason for the return of single-school zoning is that the number of children has decreased dramatically. The decline in children also means that there are fewer families in need of school district housing. With less demand, the competition in the market is unlikely to be too fierce.
Second, the depreciation of academic qualifications, parents are not so persistent about chicken babies.
Although a prestigious school is still the dream of parents, many people have realized that reading Qingbei is a talent, and even if they can afford money and time, they may not be able to roll up the genes of the next generation;
But if the goal is to keep a copy, then the return on real estate investment is too low.

I don't understand the data released by Peking University in 23 years. The undergraduate employment rate is 94.38%, but the articulation accounts for 82.72%...
Since last year, the employment rate of college graduates has been no longer published, and the previous data is comparable to the national rate of more than 20%. But even if you can get a job, most of the jobs you get are only jobs with a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan.
In this case, it is unnecessary for many parents to spend hundreds or tens of millions of dollars to invest in a school district house and work hard for so many years with a mortgage.
In particular, they also saw a truth: school district housing will also fall.
Third, the price of housing in the school district has fallen, washing away a group of people who speculate on houses. People who have just needed it, under the economic shock, have been educated to be rational, will consider their ability to pay, and will not overdraft for tomorrow.
Reflected in the purchase of a house, the mentality is more Buddhist: it is good to be able to send a baby to Niu Xiao, but if you can't afford to buy a house and study in a general school, you can't stop Niu Bao from becoming a talent.
From the environment, mentality to parents' money bags, as well as the adjustment of policies that start with the end in mind, such as the school quota to the school, etc., have effectively alleviated the anxiety of families going to school, and the school district is no longer the only hope for education.
