Why should the same people, often paying a high local tax for education, also take on the burden of kids in inner cities? Once again, it starts at home. The hearts of these students has to change before education can impact their lives. Likewise, the societies they live in have to stop attempting to pull them away from education. Parents are the key to all of this.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard in a while.
So, just because students are poor and live in poor areas, they shouldn't get quality education? Good education is a REWARD for being rich? Poor kids, who have NO CONTROL over the fact that they and their families are poor, should be doomed to "bad public schools"? Poor kids don't have the "heart" to learn? Likewise, just because a child is poor and may live in a poorer area, they are being pulled away from education?
I am flabbergasted....
