All four of my grandparents where only educated to 6 years old in Sri Lanka and now all 6 of their kids have post graduate degrees. So that’s bull. Give our least privileged citizens the resources and community driven high expectations that my parents got and the sky is the limit. It’s not expensive, they literally only needed textbooks pencils and paper. My dad still has his and used to tutor me from it.

You are skipping a story in between because your grandparents with a first grade education didn’t tutor their own kids. Who helped them along the way? [/quote]

They had state education until what was then called O levels, British exams taken at 16. They then got scholarships based on those exams to private school for A- levels until 18 and then University after that. My two parents met at the private school and then  studied medicine together. There where issues in the country, don’t get me wrong, a 20 year civil war plagued it. But they served my family well.
