If you think that the only thing you have to do in order to ensure your kids aren't ditch diggers, truck drivers and jiz moppers, is to get them into the appropriate private school - get a big house.

They will be living with you for a long, long time.

its not "private school" that makes a difference. its surrounding your children with focused, goal oriented kids that want to succeed in life that makes a difference. I know... i ran away from home at 16 with a .5 GPA. i paid for myself to go to a private boarding school (a ski academy) with my own savings from commercial fishing in the summer in Alaska - $12,500.00 tuition plus another 5,000.00 or so in equipment and I surrounded myself with world class skiers, world class coaches and world class atheletes.... and world class students.

2 of my friends won olympic medals in downhill skiing shortly after. Tommy Moe and Picabo Street.

coming from a bunch of inbred hicks and then being surrounded by a bunch of focused, goal oriented kids who woke up at 6am on their own, ran 4 miles before breakfast on their own, who pushed themselves to their limits on their own and who were taught that they could do anything and achieve anything... achieved everything they wanted later in life. I am now 34 and know where they are all at. I also know where all my retarded public school comrades are. most of them are pumping gas or serving pancakes. even the kids everyone thought would make it... ended up coming back to their trailer park roots and knocked some dumb little girl up and got married at 19 or 20.

if you think a good private school makes no difference, thats fine. i have been to public schools, private christian schools and a private boarding school centered around atheletic achievement and competition. I am qualified to have an opinion as well on the issue. I have seen a lot. I have seen the contrasts in the cultures of those environments and how it affected children and their education and how it did or did not prepare a child for adulthood.

being a good parent, giving your child the best, putting your child in a good environment that is condusive to success in life and surrounding him with hard working, focused and goal oriented children is an awesome thing to do for a child. all the while, you should be guiding him as well. you are entitled to think it makes no difference. I know from experience that it can make all the difference in the world.

let me know what address i should send you your "My kid went to Public School and now details JR's kids car" bumper sticker to.

Like i said... i am not knocking the burger flippers of the world. we need em'... my lifes priority is to make sure my kid is not one of them.
