I'm not so certain, if only because how many obstacles and problems people imagined for me when I told them the idea, compared with how surprisingly easy it was when I actually went for it. I think mindset is still the biggest factor. For example, there are all sorts of things you can get picked on for at school, and I think the most important bit is teaching them to navigate the process itself.

Going to what is almost certainly a rich kid area while your child lives out of a minivan that gets towed around every three days is 100% going to make them a social pariah and miserable at school. Maybe when they're 16 and can drive the car away on their own feelings could change.
