You're using exceptions to attempt to disprove a rule. Poor children are far less likely to be able to attend quality schools or receive any sort of reliable tutoring from their parents. They are also far, far more likely to live in dangerous neighborhoods. As a result, they usually learn far less, they are able to focus far less on school, meaning that they are far less qualified to compete in the workplace. Their parents likely won't be rich enough to send them to college. Due to this they get low paying jobs, never make enough money to escape the low income status, and the cycle repeats. Over 70% of kids born poor stay poor throughout their entire life. Sure, there will ocassionally be the exceptional student who is gifted enough to overcome those obstacles, but the vast majority of kids aren't. I've worked with low income public schools before, and trust me, the idealized "American dream" (or Western Dream depending on where you live) is not attainable for everyone. |
I'm attempting prove that there is no rule that people have to remain poor. It's literally their choice.
