There are tons of more variables. In discussions like these, you’ll always have one person blame it all on the poor for lack of motivation and one blame it on the system for whatever reason. And of course, it always boils back down to black vs white, even though where I am from (Toronto) the dropout rate of poor immigrants is just about in line with that of blacks (35 vs 40%). I got no wide sociological background myself, I just think it is what it is.

I was just lucky to have two really motivated parents. My mom had a background in higher education back in her country so she knew what she was doing raising me and my dad was a poor farmer from the north who was motivated to succeed because he had a seething hatred for America, nothing motivates better than revenge and there’s no better revenge than living well right?
