At the end of it all, does the school matter?

For kindergarten (or first grade) through twelfth…probably not.

But after high school, what about university, college, or technical school…

Maybe and maybe not.

Beyond the higher ed decision – the name isn’t all there is.

Where it is. What they cover. Why they do what they do. How long they’ve been doing it. Who they trust to lead their students.

It is their process, their methods, their culture and how they approach academics. Code, honor, ethics. Independent study, thesis, mandated work-study or internships.

Of course, if you ask adults who have been there, does the school matter, it is up to you. There is no way to know. Where you go and what you do…only you can make that decision.
