Very nice post. First of all Mia is an extremely intelligent kid. I saw the results of the study on tv where they gave the kids a marshmallow and gave them the choice to eat it now or wait a few mins and get 2 of them.
The kids who waited the few mins and got 2 were very few and were found to be much more successful later on in life.
The concepts in your post can be applied to almost every aspect of life.
However the weighted impact of your decisions varies significantly by geography.
In Belize, you have to use that credit card to live on ramen noodles and a 400 sq ft apt. unless you want to live in a 10 by 10 ft shack with rats. Here, for the vast majority of people, you live beyond your means in order to remain healthy.

You're right, but the point was that to “some” people it is considered lower quality education. And them not having the ability to send their kids somewhere else was the tough decision. It's more an analysis of their feeling trapped or helpless or regretful than an analysis of schools.

Everything here makes sense especially now people especially my generation cannot survive if they cruise in Luxury Cars, buy $200 jeans, and getting stuck in debt with CC and loans. The only thing is that people don't really settle for “Lower quality education,” private schools are of coarse great especially at a younger age. But public schools are not really considered “lower education.”

Thx. The middle part of it may have come off a little snobbish which wasn't my intention. But sometimes you just have to tell it like it is.

That was excellent! I'm glad I read it now, before screwing up
