All this talk about education of the muggle-borns... it appears from remarks
by Hermione, when she is choosing her electives ("it could affect our whole
future") that she intends to remain living and working in the wizard world.
Seems to me that muggle-born/muggle-raised wizards & witches would have an
extra advantage returning to work in the muggle world... they would probably
be more successful if they use their powers (unobtrusively) to enhance their
working skills.  Of course, they would have to come up with fake records
from muggle high schools and universities.

I've always wondered how people like Hermione's parents handle the questions
about their daughter's education.  If Hermy was doing exceptionally well in
her elementary school, there would be expectations for her from other
relatives about her education and career.  Does she spend the rest of her
life lying to her old schoolfriends and her relatives?  And if she and all
the others tell the truth, it seems that there are SO many muggles with
wizardly relatives that word must leak out all over the place.
