[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So important to have an ambitious peer group. That is the reason we ended up moving to an expensive zip code. Unfortunately, institutional racism and historic inequity notwithstanding, income and ambition are closely correlated. [/quote] This- but it doesn’t necessarily have to come from school. It can be through a sport, hobby, summer camp. Any kid can thrive in a mediocre or poor public school if their parents supplement at home and provide an enriching educational environment outside of home. In fact, I find the areas with bad public schools often have the best enrichment opportunities- and they are underutilized and there for you, if you want them. If you child is bright and high achieving, they with stand out in a sea of apathetic kids, and thus even more opportunity will be thrown their way [/quote]
