Is it necessary to choose a good school for children?
I'll tell you a story first.
There is a couple who have twin daughters. The two children are in primary school. My sister is a kind, approachable and serious child; My sister is mischievous, careless in her studies, and like to lose her temper. Mothers of twins often wonder, isn't it said that twins have similar temperament, hobbies and personalities? Why are the two children so different? Relatives who are familiar with them all know that the two sisters went to different schools by accident when they first went to primary school. Is it really because different schools lead to different personalities of children?

A study of developmental psychologists
Harris J. R, an American developmental psychologist, once caused a sensation (the result was included in the article human nature and human individuality). Through his research on some families with twins, consanguinity and adoptive relationship, he showed that:
50% of the influence of a child's personality traits comes from genes, and
only 0-10% of the influence comes from family and living environment,
The other 40% - 50% comes from the influence of peers!
Therefore, it is not so much that a school has an impact on a child's future personality traits, but rather because the students in the school have an overwhelming influence.
