[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cognitive dissonance says people will nearly always think their choice is the right one. The vast majority on DCUM pick high-performing pyramids, so you’re not going to find much support here for lower-performing ones. No one wants to admit that they could have spent less money for an equally good outcome.[/quote] The same logic would suggest no one wants to admit they failed to secure a better outcome for their kids because, for example, they prioritized a bigger house or their vacation budgets over a stronger school. But, really, if you assume that people are rational economic actors, the market is the best indicator. People pay a premium for better schools - just compare prices in adjacent areas zoned for Langley compared to Herndon or West Springfield compared to Lee.[/quote]
