[quote=Anonymous][quote]I doubt less-advantaged populations are wringing their hands because they only have a few classmates with wealthier parents. Teachers, principals and staff still help the kids get a great education.[/quote]

Here kids, we're going to take you from your neighborhood with your crowded apartments and send you on a bus for where you have to get up earlier and ride thirty minutes minimum to a school where many kids have their own cars.  Your job is to teach them what it is like to be poor.

Here are some real world examples:

You play football at your current school?  Good you can play at your new, wealthy school.  Oh, you don't have a car to get home from practice?  That's okay.  You won't miss playing football--you might get hurt anyway.

To another kid:  you have to get home to watch your little brother after school--or get him ready for school in the morning?  I'm sure your mom can work that out.  Maybe, she can find a different job.

You may think this is a joke--but it is not.  This could quickly solve the overcrowding problem.  It's difficult enough already to keep these kids in school.
