My eyes are open. My son's HS is a palace, the facilities and staff excellent. They email us all the time to keep us up to date with what is going on with Rollo Jr., have been very helpful keeping him on the honor roll by working with him at lunch or after school if he has questions. They've recommended private tutors for his guitar, percussion and soccer.
I can go see great Dr.s at great facilities any time I want, immediately.
I have 4G phone internet and 60MBps home internet for reasonable prices.
Cops always drive by in my neighborhood, making it safe.
It all depends where you're at in the US, it's a big place. For my son getting 3.4-3.5 GPAs means he's in the middle of the pack in his class. Head to some schools he'd rank higher, some he'd rank lower.
We "fall behind" in education because a lot of parents aren't like Mrs. Rollo, helping our son stay on task and studying with him daily. If you just drop them off at school and say "did my part", you get back what you put in.
