[quote=Anonymous]Well, the flip side is this: My kids' same-age cousins grew up in a place where sports and parties were the priorities--high school was a blast. Of the four, one spent time in juvvie, didn't go to college and works in construction, one just got his associate's degree four years out of high school and works a low-level office job, one has a drug problem, dropped out of college after one semester and works at a pizza joint, and one is in college and doing well. These are all kids with a good intellect and a stable home, but a crappy peer group at schools where it's not cool to be smart. Environment matters a lot.[/quote]
