The Tricky Balance of School

School is an artificial fantasy world that has no bearing on the real world. Grades from elementary school or even a Harvard GPA do not matter in the long run. However, school does matter because your tests determine the classes you'll be placed in and the college you'll get into, impacting your future earning power. The ability to figure out the rules, perform well on assignments, and navigate the system is crucial. As a parent, it's a delicate balance to explain to your kids that school doesn't matter while also acknowledging its importance.
