Doing Well - What are the most important factor in your opinion

[FagAshMIL]

In your opinion what order would you put the following factors when thinking about what's important for a child to do well in school both academically (coming out with a good solid set of GCSEs) and socially (happy, helpful, confident young adults). Is there anything on the list that you would consider not important at all and have I missed off anything vital?

Engaging and interested teachers
Good management of the school
Academic ability of pupil
Loving, nurturing and supportive homelife
Number of extra curricular activities on offer
School being in an area where crime levels are low
Attending a school within your community

I realise that every child is different and what is important for one may not be so for an other but if you HAD to order the list how would it look to you?

Work ethic
Resilience
Adequate sleep
Restricted screen time

I don't think the last 3 in the op list are that important,hoards of kids don't go to schools in their community and do very well. I think branching out can be a good thing and helps to build resilience. Many can't afford extra curricular regardless of what is on offer.

First 4 of op list very important.

I think there have been studies done which show the educational level of mothers is one of the big factors in a child's academic success.

I agree with Phil. Engagement and support of parents is highest factor

From the start I decided my child's education was my responsibility.

Socially, taking babies to play groups from as soon as they are able to look round I think helps them develop social skills. So their pre school environment should be on the list.
