  1. "Dr. Peterson is the father some of us needed to have." For some reason, I recall people in the media making snide comments about that, which is so weird.

  2.  @lirraakthedragon5586  I seriously doubt "Being in a failing school with teachers that don't care will, in my experience, damage you more than neglectful parents." is true. Many people do really well being home schooled.

  3.  @lirraakthedragon5586  good parents can always make up for a bad school. A good school can't make up for bad parents. They can mitigate the issue, but never make up for it. Parents can make up for a bad school to such degree that they can make you skip school altogether, that is my point. If you don't think my argument is valid, you base your argument on anecdotal evidence at best. If you had both, how on Earth can you know what is worse?

  4. ​ @lirraakthedragon5586  "1) I actually said "in my experience" to begin with." I know, but you should not treat it as more than just that. "2) Yours isn't based on anecdotal evidence or personal opinion?" I never claimed it was, my argument/claim should be treated equal to yours. "3) no, good parents can't mitigate any better than a good school ... Out of the two, school is more important than parents." Can you back up this claim with any evidence? "You didnt counter my point, you offered up your own scenario and ran with that as the default." Oh, then I wasn't clear enough. Let me counter it right now! "New research from North Carolina State University, Brigham Young University and the University of California, Irvine finds that parental involvement is a more significant factor in a child’s academic performance than the qualities of the school itself." (Source: North Carolina State University) "Parenting is probably the most important public health issue facing our society. It is the single largest variable implicated in childhood illnesses and accidents; teenage pregnancy and substance misuse; truancy, school disruption, and underachievement; child abuse; unemployability; juvenile crime; and mental illness."
