This is 100%. It all starts at the home and if the home fails, there's a high chance it will fail the kids as well. I went through the Chelsea school system, not known for a very good school system at all but we had two very good parents that pushed us to succeed. Long story short, all three of us graduated from the Chelsea school system and all got our degrees from college and now live in Topsfield, Andover and Stoughton (my younger bro is still single so school system for him doesn't matter, unlike my sister and I who have kids).
