I lived in Boston and Maine, not at the same time, and I can assure tou that the educational standards in and around Boston are farore advanced than Vermont, NH, and Maine. The liberalism in these states do teach children to become a lifelong servant of the corporate world, and doesn't allow free thinking individuals any room to grow, though. My children are now grown, and chise their own destiny, and I had to get out of the Northeast, with flying wheels, before the collapse.

It was nice growing up in Massachusetts except storms that turn everything to thick ice.

ok but like... why can't all kids have this? i think its fugged up that only the rich get to have their kids get the best education just because they have money. do you know what i mean? i get that the best things require more money but at the same time its still fugged up that not all kids get the same education! we all should have access to the best education ya know, like wtf.

private schools are better than public schools. but homeschooling is the best, especially if you have the time for it. because with homeschooling, or, what is called "un-schooling" you can through away all the useless nonsense your kid is learning that wont benefit them in the future. see, you go to school expecting to learn, you will, but you will learn plenty of stuff that doesn't matter to you and never will. its different for every kid.

I know the feeling 😒 when ones life is been taken hostage by the very hands which were suppose to nurture,raise and guide the child in life becomes the hands which leads one to psychological roller coaster of life. I so hope you have made healthy boundaries

As a poor kid growing up, my parents and siblings we had to move around a few times due to high rent or owner selling their homes, and the schools I went to elementary and middle school varies greatly; even if they were just a few blocks from each other. As i grew up, the american public education system got worse and worse and due to social media/internet. For any parents, if you want to raise your kids right, restrict their time on the internet, games, find a good school to send your kid public or private, and spend time with your kids. Many parents nowadays just throw their kids to some random school and expect the school, and teachers to do everything. Do this and i promise you, you'll regret it when they grow up.

Privilege does have its privileges in Amerikkka.

All the good schools are in Boston then…noted.

Massachusetts is renowned for having the best schools because it has the most taxes going to schools. The lesson is don’t put money in private schools. Put them in public. A community college Massachusetts degree is more than a 4 year most places.

Move to an affluent suburb, NOT A SUPER RICH ONE, just upper middle class. Excellent education without the snobby attitude. Worked for us!

What’s wrong with catered birthday parties? Lmao. Wild take. Nice things = bad??

My family's been in Massachusetts from 1620, and 1630's. In time , the state "legislature" so to say, would issue colony then state laws about what towns were obligated to publicly provide re education/school. Each town to pay for its own system. As a result, towns tried hard to get good teachers and facilities. TO ATTRACT settlers, and workmen and families, and business and businesses. That sense of foundational strength and gravitational pull. It did well.

Uprooting your kids isn't good either. Kids who are uprooted once are more likely to attempt suicide. Kids who are uprooted multiple times are more likely to commit suicide. Psychiatrists says Kids who are uprooted and lose their sense of community don't give a darn about anything or anybody, and it makes them incapable of forming relationships with other people, especially older people. Psychiatrists also say those people are extremely difficult or impossible to "fix."

If your child can’t succeed in public school what makes you think spending $40k a year will help that?

honestly… my boyfriend and his siblings been to private schools. Their parents weren’t rich and they put all their money into their kids eductions. I went to good old public school, it was awful.

Well, rich kids already have a better chance at winning in life. Unfortunately, this argument that going to a better school with high value peers will increase your chance at life is very faulty.

In fact, I have seen those kids underperforming compared to those that went to government schools. I am not talking about the US, but my own country but I think the rules still apply.
