Essentially, what you’re saying is that some students have got to go. When I talked to my brother about people who “got to go” I was asking what the plan would be to get rid of them. He said “shoot them”. It wasn’t a serious answer, but still….

I am not saying that at all. I am saying more students and their families have to value and do better with the imperfect gift they are offered.
I think what some of you are expressing is low expectations for poor less educated people. Of course they don’t have all the benefits , but why have even lower expectations than are appropriate? Expressing those lower expectations by blaming the schools isn’t going to help.
