Why did I even bother to comment in the first place?
I wanted to highlight to you that:
1) There are others who hail from humble backgrounds who disagree with your opinion that it's tough to be a poor kid in an elite school.
Tough to be a poor kid in ACS, sure. Don't generalize excessively, and especially not to the general state of society.
2) These same others would characterize your attitude as "ungrateful".
Seriously, think about it. The Government identifies a poor boy's talent, gives him the best education possible, spends five times as much on him as the typical student. The result: instead of a very different life, he ends up a successful professional.
Many other Governments would not even bother.
$50/month is a drop in the pond compared to what they have done for him. Yet instead of appreciating this, he chooses to claim that they have not done enough? That it is "ridiculous" he is not subsidized further? What is this if not an entitlement mentality?
Not to mention that those instructors easily charge $50/HOUR externally. ACS certainly pulled some strings. Were those appreciated?
3) If you want more than facile "I agree" comments on this blog, you probably want to be more considerate towards criticism.
Given how wrong you have been Re: Stonewall, a good dose of reality wouldn't hurt either.
