It is true for sure. In sports people talk about kids hitting the genetic lottery. Let’s face it not everyone will be 6’10. There is also what a co-worker and I call the birth lottery. Kids that have at least middle class parents and in some cases high income parents. Those kids have a better chance to be college ready by graduation for sure. This is nothing new most of all of us moved to our school district partly driven by the schools.
All that being said my youngest and I have come up with a idea. If you can read and do basic math and you have your free library card then you can learn anything. Between books and stuff on the internet anything is possible.
