[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it about gaming the system so much as being in a position of privilege and finding themselves without that privilege. [/quote]

Wow! My kids are privileged because their parents are married and they live in a two parent household? They are privileged that there is no substance or domestic abuse in the house? They are privileged that we save every single dime to pay for their education? They are privileged that their parents instead of watching TV with a beer in hand, spend time with them when they are doing homework? They are  privileged that their mom gets up at 5 am to cook their meals before going off to work, instead of packing them junk and McDonald burger? They are so privileged that their mom does not spend money on fake nails and hair extensions and instead caters to their needs?   I see URM kids who are given a lot of resources because they are "under-privileged" but they are the ones with designer clothes and I-Phones.

There is a culture of feeling that they are entitled to everything without putting in any work.  I wonder where they will land up in life?  There has to be some degree of personal responsibility.  And others cannot continue to be penalized for doing the right thing for their children.  [/quote]

Yes, I think they're privileged. Don't you? Do you think that your kids would be better off if they didn't have those things?[/quote]

Listen to yourself.  So if I become a drug dealing, stripper,  hooker with many baby daddies, my kids have a better chance to get into magnet schools? Or do I still have to be a certain race?[/quote]

Yep only kids of drug dealers are getting into magnets.   Listen to yourself.  LOL!!!![/quote]
