[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are educated professionals. My husband thinks that just based on this fact alone, our kids will be fine at our neighborhood school (it’s pretty decent), which is walkable from our home. We also have the option of private or testing into gifted schools but these options are 17-30 mins away from us. It may be that these schools aren’t any better than our public school since these gifted and private schools basically selective for type A parents. In your opinion, does the school matter as much as the parents? [/quote] Matter more for what? Happy, independent adults? Or getting into Ivy Leagues? In my experience and those around me, parents trump school in every case. [/quote] Op for me it’s more about having a solid education and foundation. I don’t care if my kids go to Ivy League universities but I want them to be able to excel in academics so nothing is off the tables for them. [/quote]
