[quote=Anonymous]“ On one hand, the students we're supposed to be helping are the bright, motivated ones who, due to poverty, have no time to invest in their studies. We've heard stories about how they're working odd jobs, babysitting siblings, and so on, meaning that their academics suffer out of practical necessity. At the same time, the students who the system is set up to help are lower income students with perfect GPAs, which seems to catch something entirely different from what the previous example said we were missing.” I would say we should be helping the poor child with great grades and promise but who due to those extra demands on time and/or fewer family resources is less likely to have paid for test prep and private extracurricular things like higher quality stem camps etc. [/quote]
