In Ohio (where I grew up) it isn't luck which school you go to like it is in, say, San Francisco (where I live now). It's your parents' choice on where to live.

In Ohio (where I grew up) it isn't luck which school you go to like it is in, say, San Francisco (where I live now). It's your parents' choice on where to live. They can choose a better school district if it's that important to them. While it isn't perfect it's a heck of a lot better than randomly shuffling kids if you are a parent who places a high priority on schools.
- rw 18y agoYou assume that families are able to relocate to wherever they wish. This is based on the assumption that all families have the adequate financial situation and acumen to plan for such a situation. Perfect foresight is not a realistic assumption to make.
- lacker 18y agoI am not saying it gives everyone an equal education. I just think calling it luck is unfair to those parents who are working hard to get their kids into a better school.
