[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who are deemed as highly intelligent who buy Teslas, but their kids go to very crappy schools. I don’t know what they’re thinking. Maybe that education is not important, maybe they think academics are not that important and they are teaching kids the necessary skills themselves. Who knows. [b]In our private school many kids go to the same state schools as the public school kids.[/b][/quote] Aren't you sort of contradicting yourself here? Why does it matter if a kid goes to private school if he or she will just end up at VT, JM, or College Park anyway?[/quote] Because it’s not about the college, at least for me. I want to provide a thriving environment for my kid for 12 years that are formative development years. My colleague drives a Tesla while his kids experience fights with hair pulling, smashing bodies into walls and floors, regular lockdowns for gun threats, low academic standards, prevalent drugs, etc. I drive a Honda, but my kid is in a calm learning environment with high academic standards, teachers who work in making learning joyful, kids that are motivated to succeed.[/quote] Sorry, that does not make you a better parent [/quote]
