FIH, when I said “our kids,” I meant our own kids and their friends in the sample group I mentioned regarding the 50% success rate.
Our own kids and many of our friends kids have achieved the goals they
set–many have not–so imo, no academic system comes with an iron-clad guarantee of success in life, and that was my point. In the final analysis, All each of us can do is try to make sure our own kids get where they want to be.
Also, definitely agree living where you want to live is key for many reasons. We’re very happy with the choices we’ve made, and I hope others are as well.
