Your 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.
