[quote=Anonymous]grew up in small midwest college town through 4th grade public school fantastic. I was teased relentlessly moved to medium sized southern town. integrated school though beginnin in 6th we were tracked, and advanced classes were almost all white classes. social segregation ruled. schools fair to middling though I did fine or sra tests ect. I was teased relentlessly until about 8th grade I did fine (college professor noe) because of my SES. So I don't care so much about academics. I do very much care about social environment (I don't want my kids teased) and love of learning, which I maintained DESPITE the fair to middling southern schools I graduated from. Also, having friends who identified as good students was key to keeping me on track in a school that didn't have high expectations for students (we were all to go to local state college, or 13th grade).
