Does school really matter?

[dr. d]

back in the day,
there was only one pshs campus, in QC.
and it screened its applicants from all over the country, ranking them without respect for place of origin.
well, 80+% of its freshmen batch back then, were from manila and suburbs.
and the largest school source back then, was UP elem.

it was found out much later, that a significant number of students from arrhneo (and probably other equivalent schools) who passed the screening, did not push thru into enroling, and enroled elsewhere. parental decision, daw.
