Ofcouse Yes!! The school does matter the succes of the student... Not only the school, but proper guidance as well... Just think... if a very brilliant student is brought up in a mall village in some very low standard school... it will affect his success... I f he had studied in some good school.. Then he would do much better...

Yes, this is definitely true. And no, I don't think this is quite right. I mean - it should depend much more on student's intelligence, wits and wisdom (which is the hardest - one can be studied, one can be even intelligent, but that don't automatically mean he's wise). Some schools put the accent on open mind, which is great. But still there are lot of people with diploma, but useless. Why? I bet that lot of them thought that to have diploma is everything... I think that is terribly wrong trend nowadays: to look which diploma you have, and don't care what do you really know, or if you're capable of thinking... As it says: An idiot who got through university is just idiot with diploma.

awesome!!!! you have a great explanation... diploma will be useless if you don't know how to use it wisely... even if you've graduated in a very exclusive school but you dom't have the eagerness or the success, it will be the same as nothing at all... thanks...

Definitely yes. School is a big factor to make a students develop his/her personal characteristics. We gained knowledge shared not only our teachers even our classmates. Many aspects that a human can learn like his daily expiriences. But the most important is the formal education which we could learn lot of things.

In general, a shool with high quality will play a very important role in one's succes. But what is more significant is yourself! Your succse depends on your knowledge,efforts,opportunities and so on! You can master your future! Keep up!

I think it just depends.If you have the opportunity to study in a first-class college and got the diploma,it will help you find a good job to a considerable degree.But nowadays,personal ability becomes more and more important.That's why many companies will not just focus on jobhunter's diploma but will emphasize more on their performance at the face to face interview. Short as it is,it will reveal one's personality and certain important ability during the interview process.So that means a diploma is not everything,you should always make great efforts to improve yourself in necessary areas.Then you can seize the precious opportunity once available. But on the other hand,nowadays,as the university study has become so universal,one will not have much advantage without a diploma.It still plays an important role in many aspects.So one should not focus only on this,but can not do well without it either.
