It’s sad to say but the area where you live can affect the way you are. If you grow up in an area where the majority are rich you may find it hard to connect with your peers if you aren’t rich. People who have money tend to be more stuck up than someone who didn’t get money handed to them their whole life.
Trying to work in an area that may be considered poor can be hard because of the customers you may have to deal with. People who work hard for their money and work long hours tend to be more tired which can make them more irrational.
A quote from Jewel Dezard “ Working at Chipotle has shaped me to be a better person and I have learned how to deal with difficult customers. The area I live in I like because the people aren’t too bad here which is why I also enjoy going to the school I go to”.
Picking any type of school can be hard. Even picking a pre-K can shape a person. Descending whether to send your kid to a private or public school can be hard. You should always have your kids’ best interests and not yours.
A quote from Sarah Singh a senior “ I have gone to elementary through high school in the same area and I like this because I have grown up with the same people and I got to keep my friends and meet new ones as well.
If a kid for example seems to excel in music they should be put in a school with a great music program so they can be the best they want to be. Just because a school may cost more doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for you.
Going to a school where you have strict limitations may be good for kids who have behavioral issues. This may not be the best for kids who prefer to be on their own for learning and don’t need the catering. This is why research is important when picking a school.
Going to the wrong school can cause you to get depressed and not thrive because the environment is not what best supports you. You spend around 8 hours a day at school and being somewhere for that long you should enjoy being there.
I believe kids should have a say in where they go to school because they are the ones who have to attend, not the parents who want to choose for them. The right move would be to have a sit-down conversation and do lots of research to find the best school that the whole family agrees with.
