[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a veteran teacher of high school students in a high poverty region, I would say this: Yes, kids (people) are resilient. I have seen my students excel beyond any expectation after lives of hardship. But, social advantages matter, a lot. So many of my students and their parents, wonderful human beings, will never “bounce back” fully from the hardships they have been dealt. They will be out-performed by mediocre folks with financial advantages. They will have harder lives, through no fault of their own. I see it time and time again. Resilience is real. But it’s not everything. Context matters. If you have been up close...it will break your heart. Period. [/quote] OP here. I found this insightful, thank you.[/quote]
