[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Incorrect. It's a combination of their education and the brains they were born with. Some are just wired better. Sending an average kid to a top school will not guarantee they get a higher score. They might, but probably not any higher than attending an expensive prep course would. And sending an exceptional student to a mediocre or even bad school won't negatively affect their ability to score highly. The simple truth is that not all kids are born with the same ability. Moving to Hollywood won't make you more beautiful or more talented. Moving to a certain school zone won't make your child smarter. Effort improves what you're born with, but you don't need a certain geographic location to put in that effort. [/quote] This post doesn't malign anybody. Nature matters. Nurture matters. Effort matters. And educational success does not guarantee a successful life. Try to use logic and not be so damned defensive. [/quote]
