[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it, but I think these parents don't care for a few reasons. First, their home's values is tied up to those test scores. So, they bought into the whole premise that you seem to challenge. Good scores = good schools = good property values. Sure, they could rock the boat and demand more, but I think the effort required and payoff isn't something most parents in these zones see worthwhile. So, they supplement.

Second, if you noticed on this thread a lot of people mentioned "peer groups" or an achievement type culture. What they are saying in code is that they don't want their kids around those chip eating poor kids. I get it, even poor kids can work hard, but they don't want to get any sort of influence on their kids from kids who are in poverty.

Finally, I think a lot of parents don't really care about learning. They want their kids to pass the tests, do well on the college entrance exams, have a good GPA and go to college. How that happens isn't really important.[/quote]

What’s wrong with chips? We are in a deeemed good pyramid. DH and I are Ivy League educated and we love chips. [/quote]
