First of all, as in China, the concept of school district housing does exist abroad. American law stipulates that public primary and secondary schools adopt the principle of proximity, and so do countries such as Britain and Canada. Foreign public primary and secondary schools are surrounded by school districts, and students living in school districts can attend corresponding schools. However, some public schools that recruit international students have no school district problems, and they can enroll as long as they can apply successfully. For foreign private schools, there is no concept of school district housing. For example, most private schools in Australia are located in remote areas, so they can only implement boarding system and cannot divide school districts. For American private schools, the first is whether parents can afford high tuition fees, and the second is whether students have the necessary qualities.

Housing policies of school districts in major immigrant countries

United States: Although the United States also has a school district housing policy, as mentioned above, only public schools implement it, and private schools are not subject to this condition. But in the United States, good private schools are generally expensive. Parents who cannot afford it can only seek to send their children to free public schools. But does it mean that they have to buy sky-high school districts like in China? The answer is no, there are two main differences between American school districts and domestic ones. First, although the educational resources in many cities in the United States are also good, they are not as good as those in the suburbs as a whole, which is contrary to the situation that all the good schools in China are concentrated in the urban areas and the suburbs become synonymous with backwardness. This is due to the suburbanization movement in the United States in the 20th century, that is, the middle class moved to the suburbs. Secondly, compared with the school districts in Beishangguang, the housing prices of American school districts can be described as the conscience of the industry. Even in new york, where land is scarce, the housing of the top five public primary schools is only 2.4 times that of the bottom five schools. This is mainly caused by two factors: First, there is no household registration system in the United States. Scribing admission is only related to whether students live in the school district or not, and has nothing to do with whether they own property rights, because renting a house can also go to school. The second reason why the housing prices in American school districts are not so outrageous is that the distribution of educational resources is relatively scattered, and parents' needs can be met by other means, because there are two development lines, public and private, which reduces the absolute value of school districts.

Australia: In Australia, due to the visa policy, only high school students or above can apply for studying abroad. There is no similar concept of school district housing in Australia, which is mainly aimed at local students by region, and international students can apply for better schools. Because international students are generally arranged in host families, they can apply for the nearest high-quality public middle school. In addition, due to the huge cultural differences between Australia and China, the ways of educating children are completely different, and local parents are less concerned about whether their children can attend key schools than domestic parents, so school districts are not popular in mainstream Australian society, and locals do not understand what school districts represent. Therefore, in Australia, the house price mainly depends on the quality of the lot and the property itself, and the school has little influence on its price.

Britain: In Britain, except London, the real estate market in other cities has been sluggish in recent years, but the number of school districts in Britain has not declined, but some so-called good areas do not mean that they are key school districts in Britain, because the British government requires all developers to have some low-rent housing when building real estate, and many good blocks also have affordable housing with British characteristics, which leads to the demographic structure that will affect the quality of students. Even the expensive Kensington-Chelsea area has several reputations. A small number of good public middle schools are admitted according to the entrance examination results, that is, those famous grammar schools or elite schools. First-class grammar schools are even better than many private schools. As a result, many "school districts" in Britain have lost their meaning, and they all replace school districts through examinations.

Japan: Japanese primary and secondary schools are also divided into private and public schools. Private schools are few and expensive, so most Japanese children go to public schools. However, the hardware facilities of Japanese public schools are basically the same, and teachers rotate every two years, so any teacher has the opportunity to rotate to teach in the countryside, ensuring the fairness of compulsory education for all. And in Japan, primary and secondary schools can enroll students across school districts. Although this will cause some troubles, schools generally take parents' wishes as the first standard, but parents generally choose to enter the school nearby and decide the school district and school with the registered address of the local government. Therefore, there is no need to worry about high-priced school districts in Japan.
