[quote=Anonymous]I am an Asian-American parent. I always knew that mediocre teachers cruise in good schools.  Why? Because I have kids in all four kinds of school - the title 1 school, affluent school, magnet school and private school.  The affluent schools and the magnet school are basically substandard in middle school level.   Unfortunately, I had even worse experience in private schools. The teacher quality was not better but everything was wrapped in a bow, if you know what I mean. A lot of pomp and circumstances but very few quality students, teachers or administrators. Parents had a lot more money but a lot less time. Kids were entitled and grades were inflated.

Poorer schools had many dedicated teachers but the constant need of a poor and neglected peer group made learning difficult.  We found magnet programs better because of very high achieving peer group, but no guarantees of good teachers. Magnet peer group, coupled with teaching my kids at home, we managed to give my children an adequate education.  However, did not realize how very poor the quality of all K-12 education in US is.
