bg, I think what sdr is saying is that all the grade levels, even elementary school at a higher rated school will help at child at high school levels.
Your comments make you come off as just worry about hs and don’t worry about elemen/middle and I’m sure you don’t mean that neither, but the bottom line is if you can send them to higher rated schools with more resources, smarter/harder working and better kids, you’re “probably” be better off later in life.
You’re saying the rich, wealthy girls with the highest grades ends up with the sailor right out of HS, well, look at the % that will do that in the TOP TOP economic circles vs. the much LARGER amount that will in the lower circles.
As much as I hate the tiger mom, her kid is going to Yale I think and got into Harvard as well and is a concert pianist to boot. I’m sure many folks hope to see her fail, but it’s not happening, at least not yet!
Economic and Social status has EVERYTHING to do with how successful, especially professional in work/life.
It’s really who you know. Also, no idea why you like to always add blurbs on HOA/MR, it gets old and makes you look less open minded / wise to meaningful discussions or what anyone has to say.
In terms of dumbing materials, it really is based on the general level of the folks. In Asia, a lot of the kids do college level math, physics so if you just did the norm there, you’ll kick ass in college. I should know considering my ECON roommate knew how to do all my physics work which I struggled with from a lowly rated hs here.
