A lot of kids do well at private schools, but surely a lot of that is because they have parents who are more demanding, like they have to do homework on time and they have to get very good results in exams, if not, punishment will ensue.
Parents have a massive influence on whether a child is working hard.
It's about far more than having demanding parents; in fact, I don't think that is a major factor but supportive parents is. However, the schools are often very demanding so hard work is usually a requirement.
