Is it about wealth or about innate talent or their family’s culture? I’m genuinely asking. I’ve seen poor kids do well in schools when their family cares about grades or when they’re just plain smart. The amount of money they had I don’t think held them back.
- contagiousflow 2y agoDo you think the amount a parent can care and show interest in their children's education could be correlated to financial freedom?
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoMaybe depends on how poor? My experience was even poor parents were able to care. But I think more extreme cases could be different - like if they’re both rarely at home and they don’t have others to help raise the kids, then I think the family culture doesn’t really exist.
- contagiousflow 2y agoAhhh that's very interesting. I'm glad you've experienced that! I asked because I had mostly seen the latter, and in the few cases there were parents who had the capacity, they had been so soured by their own experiences in schools they didn't see the value in it for their children. I hope one day we can solve the problems for both cases.
