John Haverty,
It really depends on the kid. Some kids need structure to do well. Some kids are problem solvers. Some kids are really persistant and just keep at the same thing. And some kids are just stupid and ambitious - those go on to great success as realtors, mortgage brokers, and RE flippers/daytraders/etc.
Had 2 interesting clients recently. One worth hundredes of millions made in auto electronics. The other makes 300k/year selling insurance. Both NEVER went to high school!! I agree that attending an Ivy league has tremendous benefits- financial and intellectual. But we live in an age when "education" is not requisite.

I don't think "Good School District" exists.
Only Great Kids and Responsible Parents make the kids success.

Does it entail good education? Or does it only lead to an overrated college, overpriced tuition, and oversized student loan debt?
Is buying into a good school district the only way to ensure good education?
