The answer is no on two fronts.  First, as evidenced so clearly on this thread, wealthy parents deem children from poor and working class families as inferior and so not suitable for playing with Jack and Jane.

Secondly,  kids from poor families go to schools that are essentially ghettos for poverty and so individual schools end up shouldering the burden of very concentrated levels of poverty.  This results in a poorer quality education for all of the students attending these schools because these schools have to expend a great deal of time and resources dealing with the challenges that come from dealing with high levels of poverty within the school population.  The County knows this but opts to do nothing about it because integrating schools by socio economics angers wealthier families and the County cares a great deal more about wealthier tax payers.

In this country if you are poor you matter less.  And that goes for your kids too.[/quote]
