[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not around here. Poorer schools get 3 times the funding.[/quote] My kids are at one of those poorer schools. Yes we benefit from low class sizes, but there isn't a crazy amount of extras besides that. And I find that my kids who are above the grade level in most subjects don't have very many peers to form appropriate groups. And the expectations are lower in general, which isn't a good thing for high achievers. I am grateful that we can afford books and had the time and wherewithal to read to our children from a very young age. I do think that it comes from Home first and foremost and school is a much smaller percentage.[/quote]
