[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] one generation requires that freedom to leap which does not happen if the schools are all poor people who still don't feel like they merit the investment of resources their wealthier counterparts do.[/quote] You know, there immigrants from Africa and middle East wasing up on the shore of Europe who would kill for the opportunities that you have, for the crappy books that you don't bother to read because they are not premium white kids books, for your free libraries, for your seat in a classroom that you often skip. Who wouldn't dream of dropping school. If we bring a rural Chinese impoverished kid and put him in your place, he'll make all As. There are kids in India who started a school under a bridge because they feel education is their ticket out of slums. And you sit here, entitled. And complain that you didn't get the best of everything and this is your excuse for failure.[/quote]
