- beat 13y agoI grew up in an abusive home with parents who didn't give a shit. So did a lot of successful people.
- MisterBastahrd 13y agoYour anecdote doesn't prove your point.
- beat 13y agoIt does, however, disprove yours. edit: More to the point... if I could have attended the fine charter my kids attended, I would have had a better trajectory overall. But more important than the schooling was my innate talent and determination. I'm way over on the nature end of the nature-vs-nurture scale. Bad families and bad schools make the success formula more difficult for kids, but not impossible.
- MisterBastahrd 13y agoApparently not, given that I did not make a point.
- sageikosa 13y agoI didn't read it was trying to prove a point except to counter someone else's generalization by providing a specific counter-case.
- matt_brushlabs 13y agoHopefully not, but a charter can't forcibly compel an abusive parent to send his/her child there. You'd hope that wasn't the case, but ever since the Founding Fathers flipped their shit over taxation without representation, we've built a country that favors the ambitious and fortunate 94 percent of the time.
