that anecdote leads to the same conclusion
not quite. your claim was that with a bad situation at home, school does not make a difference. while i understand the opposite. the worse the situation at home, the more of a difference school makes for them.
i see it like this:
good home + good school = good outcome
good home + no school = good outcome
bad home + good school = ok outcome
bad home + no school = bad outcome
so for a good home school does not matter. for a bad home it does. (i am ignoring bad schools, they probably make things worse in either case)
- obscurette 1y agoIt's much more complicated than that. For example in my experience a school per se doesn't matter much for many kids from problematic homes. What matters is that they get a time away from home. COVID lockdowns killed exactly that – they didn't have to be away from home and it was very bad for their mental health. Then there is a growing number of parents who are actively working against the school, undermine the child's trust against school and teachers etc. Most of the time a school can't do anything with these and outcome is always bad. Then there is a growing number of children who don't do well in school no matter what. They can have a good home and good school, but because of some neurodiversity for example do very bad anyway. I also don't agree that good home alone is enough for good outcome. It really depends from many things. In short – education, outcome from school and home etc are hyperindividual and there is no hard rules.
