<p>I’m really having a lot of trouble with the perceived premises here, which are that either it is all the po’ folks fault that they aren’t succeeding, and no amount of additional money will help (since it appears people think said po’ folk just are a little too backwards to care about things, even as small as a pencil),</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>that those poor people do just fine and dandy in their public schools and the fact that some people can afford to spend $30K on high school doesn’t really give their children any advantage at all, because after all, those po’ folks kids can just study and work hard and make something of themselves, go to good colleges, anyway. Like, what’s the big deal?</p>
<p>Do I have the score right here, or what?</p>
<p>(these are utterly bogus arguments, by the way, but I wanted to make sure I was reading people’s comments as they were intended.)</p>
