I should have been more specific. I meant the monetary backing of the parents of the children, and the people behind the individual student.

That's why the US dropped the whole giving of jobs to minorities even if they were unqualified next to other applicants. You can't GIVE idiots a bunch of great tools and expect them to do what the other kids can. They are idiots, born from idiots and probably won't accomplish much.

There's a lot of feel good movies and books that argue that point... but I'd bet if every kid had what the best students in the world had, they would still not do as well as the top grade are.

Wish I could read this thread in 500 years.
