[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get your kid into a good school district and live in a good neighborhood. That’s great for your kids. They have that as an advantage. It’s much larger an advantage than a few points on a adversity score. So shut up! I’m sick of the argument about MC getting the shaft.

Also, If you are too poor to pay for college you would actually qualify for financial aid. So stop whining about that. College is expensive. It’s also optional. This isn’t new.

The kids born into poverty get free money for college. [/quote]

If they survive to college aged. If they aren’t incarcerated first. If they haven’t been lured into a gang or gotten pregnant. If they don’t have undiagnosed learning disabilities. If they were able to achieve good grades despite being hungry or homeless. If they even were offered a good enough education to get a passing score on the SAT. Even then navigating college admissions with no money is difficult.

I’ll take my 130,000 HHI and just pay for college. [/quote]

I still do not get it. And these kids are magically going to become whizes in math or science 'cos the adversity score deemed them fit???!!! Its ridiculous. Its takes years to prep for some hard majors and some of these kids are just not going to make it even after admission. The time to tackle these kids is at elementary school, not f*** college.[/quote]

Wtf do you not get? They are math whizes. They get 1500 on the SAT or higher. They just had to overcome obstacles most kids didn’t or didn’t have to innyje first place. They are amazing. And now a silly number will reflect that and hopefully get them more recognition from admissions than they already were getting. [/quote]
