What’s more important? Quality of parents or quality of school?

So much political blabber about bad schools being the reason for poverty, drop outs, teenage pregnancy, unemployment, etc etc.
It’s my opinion that if a kid has a quality parent(s) at home, he or she will succeed no matter how shitty a school may be. Conversely, a kid with terrible parents will fail in even the best school.
Am I wrong?

Parents.

Parents and it isn’t even remotely close.

Not even a question, really. Great schools and quality teachers (competent, smart, caring) can only do so much if parents don't have standards, model proper behavior, or attitudes.

Quality of parents; however, if the school is terrible enough even the best parents won't be able to overcome it.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would disagree with that statement.

values come from parents not schools. it all starts with values.

If you don’t have quality parents, then you won’t have a quality school. So it’s obvious.

I would say that parents are more important, but I also think that quality parents will try their best not to send their kid to a shitty school anyway.
Quality parents with kid at an average school, will succeed more than average parents with kid at a good school, IMO.

bullshite. There are many other ways to educate your kid than just school.

Quality parents lead to quality schools.

Everything starts and ends at home.

Yes you are, parents only control a portion of a kids influence. To just eliminate where a child will spend ~20,000 hours at through their most influential and trans-formative years is idiotic. The standard of excellence you child is held to at school is very important, If you rank #1 among your peers that means you are doing relativity well, no matter how you rank in the global scheme.
Note: i recently went to a public high school graduation of 550 kids, at the beginning of the ceremony they honored 4 kids who scored in the top 10% of the act. that is less than 1% of the students at this school is in even the top ten percent. I have a hard time believing that 99% of the parents weren't good parents or didn't instill values. the person I was there for stood up.

I agree, I was thinking along the lines of peer influence.

I would argue good schools can overcome bad parenting. However it takes some maturity from the kid to make it happen.
