[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there were far fewer social services then than now . I’m high school I had all sorts of extracurricular activities and worked 15 hours a week. My father grew up dirt poor  in Roxbury . Zero social welfare benefits and he worked nearly fulll time in high school and got a full ride scholarship to northeastern . It can be done if people don’t excuse failure [/quote]

Scoring 70 points in an NBA game can be done, too. But we don't blame people for not doing it and tell them they're excusing failure.[/quote]

What?

Everyone is expected to graduate HS, because that is a realistic goal for most people.  Not everyone is expected to play in the NBA.

Everyone is expected to graduate from high school, but some people have a lot more barriers to overcome in order to achieve this goal than others. And just because some people do overcome barriers to achieve this goal doesn't mean that the barriers are just "excuses for failure."[/quote]
