Zip is also highly correlated with income which is correlated with giving a shit-ness, but I take the point.

To be more precise, the effect of education, as defined by something like school quality , is likely realized for some small fraction of students who can be affected by school quality. But of course the question is also about alternatives, if the choice is a good public school or a good private school it doesn't really matter. If its between a rural public school and home school, it probably doesn't. If it's a shitty public school vs a good private school, it probably does

The point made in a much more rigorous way here: https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/30208853

Yep. Agreed. It's myriad of things.

One tradition my high school had was that of the “onboarder”, a title handed down person to person every few years; the first day of every school year the onboarder would find the homeschool kids transitioning to public school for the first time and show them a string of videos or pictures or what have you. It’d be 08:15 in band class on their first day of public school and he’s showing them two girls one cup.
