[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it matters in a way that is harder to see. You will see kids not turning in homework more often. The boundaries of bad behavior and how often it happens are often stretched. Your kid will grow up with a certain perception of the world and how the standards of the world are set.

That said, your kid MAY go to the same college from pyramid A as pryamid B IF they are not that affected by peer pressure and hangs out with a similar bunch of good kids at both schools. He/she will feel better about how he ended up there better than another pyramid comparing himself to others around him. That may propel him to work harder or less hard depending on his perceptions.

At the end of it all, you will be talking about the road not taken. Who knows?

But I went to middle school and high school in FCPS in the 90’s and back then we were not allowed to carry backpacks in the halls because kids might have brought guns and high schools with metal detectors to walk through every morning. I don’t want my kids to be proud they never got in trouble because they didn’t bring guns to school. I have a higher bar then that. I think pyramids are worthy. [/quote]

NP. Following this thread. Small town, middle school and high school with clear backpacks only, metal detectors, public school uniforms,etc. Just not what I want for my kids, even though I turned out okay. [/quote]
