My child is 5 year old and I am planning to buy to a house in Cupertino. I heard from lot of people around me that its a lot of competition in Cupertino district. Is that true? Or should I continue sending my kid to private school and buy a house in a ok school district?
just make your kid do leetcode and he'll run rings around Cupertino kids all day.
Cupertino kids do leetcode.
leetcode just needs internet connection, not good school district.
By the time your child grows up, most school districts where houses are affordable right now will be competitive. Buy where you have a good balance for neighborhood, crime stats and commute - and plant roots.
Cupertino is pretty nuts IMO. Try Sunnyvale, you'll get more for your money and the schools are good enough without having to worry about exhausting your child (depending where you buy).
Over working kids will kill creativity. Let kids chill out. You don’t have to be smart to get rich if that’s the goal. 🤷🏻♂️ Real rich people only teach their kids on how to manage their finances; only the work hard and got rich parents drill their kids because they’re not rich enough. That’s the only way how the latter know how to make money: Work’ard. 😆
Sounds so true.
Well said👍
Cupertino started all the menace of Chinese and Indians ranking up school ratings followed by real estate. Everyone is a millionaire or two there
Let me give another perspective. Who do you want your kids to grow up around? What kind of peers do you want them to benchmark themselves against? For better or worse, big fish in a small pond produces different results than small fish in a big pond (or big fish in a big pond). I would say there is a risk of putting too much pressure by having a kid go to Monta Vista or Lynbrook but just seeing nationally top ranked talent around increases their chance of reaching their potential substantially.

Yes, all Chinese live in Cupertino.
I mean Is it really crazy competition there for kids? Do they have lot of pressure?
Yes, because of Chinese. Their parents are crazy about education of their children. They even study during summer breaks. If your kid is capable to compete go for it.
