[quote=Anonymous]Accidentally posted prior to finishing my reply. It wasn’t the teachers who were bad, they were mostly very good and cared about the kids. But the environment sucked. I got into good colleges but I wasted many years of my life. Education should not be defined by college acceptances. I think a lot of parents understand this and they will try to get their kids into the best schools regardless of “higher competition.” I haven’t seen any parent try to get their kids into bad schools. Although I will say plenty of kids will succeed even coming out from horrible schools. Some of my classmates did fine in college and grad school. The school doesn’t determine where a student will eventually get to. But given a choice I would never choose to send my kids to a lower-performing school. [/quote]
