I am following the bright child thread with interest as I'm resigned to the fact that due to income & where we are based our little dc will not be going private or to a well regarded state school, dh & I are determined to do all we can to help them succeed. I have read on here before about cultural capital & thats what gets one ahead as opposed to academic success. All the private school kids I know & grown up ones too have this buckets of this... Is it all foreign travel, private school extras, confident parents, money... & how do parents who can't afford to buy in the catchment of good state or afford private fees provide cultural capital.
