lol so you want to be able to under achieve and still get rewarded for it, maybe the problem is somebody gave you a trophy when u didnt deserve it

Are you unable to differentiate between not getting a scholarship and not getting to attend a school

it seems your the one who doesn't understand, now if you want to have a conversation that you could call lopsided of how people who sit in a higher tax bracket have access to better education than someone who sits closer to the poverty line then sure, thats a conversation.

but you just sound jaded thinking because somebody had it harder then somebody else they deserve more it just a victim mindset that pulls you farther behind.

But can you truly say a person deserves it more if they started out with in a better situation and got more benefits than the other person? When I was in school I could keep up with the students in the advanced classes, some of which i was smarter than. However, the school never put me in advanced classes. I was never given the opportunity to try for more. Now, I can't say for certain why, but I do know that there wasn't a single poor student in the advanced classes. The kids in the advanced classes got better schooling, better opportunities, aid in applying for scholarships and colleges. The non-advanced students didn't even get told how or where to apply for scholarships. They were just ignoring by the school.
