Please help me~~
"Educated parents live in neighborhoods with the best teachers, they top off their local public school budgets and they benefit from legacy admission rules, from admissions criteria that reward kids who grow up with lots of enriching travel and from unpaid internships that lead to jobs."
I read this article on studying English.
and I had a question in the following sentence.
"the best teachers, they top off"
these two clauses don't have conjunction.
Please explain me the reason why these sentences are right without conjunction.

This sounds like a transcript of spoken English rather than a passage that was written to start with, and so the sentence isn't as organized as it might be if the writer had carefully put his or her thoughts down on paper. The string of clauses makes it hard to punctuate, but I agree it needs stronger punctuation than a comma after "teacher". A semi-colon might be better there.
