[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][ I disagree. I was raised by a single mom, we were dirt poor. And I'm a perfect example of a kid who followed (most of) the rules, but who worked hard and made it through college. Mere fact of being poor or working class is not the barrier. The barrier to leap over is a function of how hard you are willing to work for it.[/quote] You are a perfect example of an exception to the rule. Occasionally there are kids from the most wealthy, educated, refined families who screw up, but it's rare. Class is not a guarantee of educational outcome, but it sure is a good indicator. [/quote] Class is waved around as an excuse, as though low-SES students are somehow physiologically incapable of learning the same skills that anyone else can.[/quote]
