They aren't playing the game by the rules in this example, they entirely misunderstand the game which shows their biases. The kid with two wealthy parents in a functional household is going to do well in life wherever they get their k-12. Sending them to private school signals you bought into racial fears over actual logic of what factors actually contribute towards these differential outcomes we see among public and private schools.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoHaving the right parents is one factor. Having the right peers is another. You are the company you keep. One of the big problems with public schools right now is disruptive/slow students not being kicked out/remediated, hampering good students’ learning.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoI think people really overweigh k-12 on outcomes anyhow. Thats never the difference maker, what you specialize in college certainly can be though. And you can be sure that the child of a wealthy person will be going to college no matter where they go.
