may i just say that if you instill a good work ethic into your child, he or she will excel even in a "bad" school. there are plenty of teachers who are good and conscientious, even if they are new or young. I went to the worst high school in ny (then and now) franklin k. lane. although i am not a mogul iber, i am well educated and happy in my life. so please relax [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op - true. my mother had 4 of us, and by ub standards only one is a success (not me, my brother), but we are all happy and able to support ourselves and enjoy life, except my one brother who had drug and employment problems all through young adulthood, which precipitated health problems in later adulthood until he died of kidney failure. did my mother do anything "wrong" with him, or "right" with the rest of us. not at all. it's scary. my point is that, yes you should try to do the best for your child, but passing along the idea that if he or she isn't in some "prep" school, he or she may as well not go to school at all, is wrong.

I think that scenerio plays out in many families. I think as parents age and have more children they totally understand the randomness of it all. Only on UB are parents judged and blamed for things beyone their control. [ Reply | More
