[QUOTE="dogs4thewin, post: 77617789, member: 306387"] It is still really the same maybe a little better but people in wealthier areas TEND to have better and higher quality schools because A education is funded largely by property taxes the wealthier the area usually the nicer properties. The other factor is that wealthier people TEND to have the type of job where they can more easily get off to support the school in other ways. They tend to have jobs ( though not always but where either they are salaried ( often because they worked their way up) which means that they will not be out money if they help with a trip or go to parent-teacher meetings other events because they are paid a flat rate. Even if they are paid by the hour many times they have "better" jobs where either through education or experience they cannot be easily replaced whereas if I am doing some entry level job by the hour NOT only will I lose money if I do not show up, but my employer can also rightly say well fine I will just replace you tomorrow or next week because the job does not take much to do. Life is not fair no matter which way you slice it people who are wealthier/live in wealthier areas TEND to have better quality education/services. Does that mean that poorer people cannot climb the ladder no my late father in particular but really he his brothers AND his sister are proof of that, but I can promise you that it was not easy and his brother, sister and he ( all of whom were forced to leave the workforce early (only one of them is still working) did not get to their final position held, nor did Uncle G get to his current position without a LOT of hard work growing up with an alcoholic father, but the fact is that wealthier people usually are going to have an easier time in most respects in life.
