A lot of this stuff requires a good amount of money, which a lot of families in my middle schol didnt have. Just a lil example my mom is sending my sister to this specialyt camp at george washingotn university for 700 bucks a week! i think thats a lot of money.

I agree 100%.
Now what happens to the kids that don't have parents that stress education? Do you think they can slack off from grades K-12 and then suddenly turn on the switch and compete academically which will result in a higher standard of living. I don't think so, which is why I don't think affirmative action works.
If it was that easy your mom would not be spending $700 a week to send you sister to specialty camp.
