Plus, most "successful entrepreneurs" happen to come from wealthy and politically connected families.
Especially since going to any kind of private school tracks closely with “parents have lots of money” which probably has a lot more to do with it.
Not necessarily, there are lots of private schools which do things very normally.
And many of those turn out tons of successful people you’ve heard of, too. Bet the ones that do so at the highest rate tend to be among the most expensive.
Yes it has been shown that having successful friends will make yourself more successful. Putting your kid into a school for rich people will more likely lead to rich friends later on.
True, it‘s just worth bearing in mind that deviating from the ordinary school system can indeed work.. kids will not automatically fail miserably if they don’t do tests or homework. That was the belief my mother (who was a teacher) ingrained in me, and I actually have to convince myself on a regular basis that life without the standard school system could also work out.
This is Anecdata^3, you probably shouldn't make rash decisions about your children based on 3 successful technical entrepreneurs.
