[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast 'Carlos Doesn't Remember' http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/04-carlos-doesnt-remember Dirt poor kid got into Choate, which is a very elite boarding school. Full scholarship. His selfish ignorant trash mother wouldn't let him go. People need to stop romanticizing ignorant people. There's nothing redeemable about trashy parents ruining their kids' futures.[/quote] That podcast was about the child of a drug addict who had her kids taken away and put into foster care. OP is talking about kids who are well cared for, who attend school, and who just happen to live in a part of the country OP thinks is inferior. These two things could not be more dissimilar. In fact, the nieces are probably more like OP's own kids than they are like Carlos. [/quote] Both situations boil down to ignorant parents turning down a better education for their children.[/quote]
