None of it will matter at all if the kid DOES NOT/WILL NOT apply himself. That’s certain.

If the kid wants to bust his chops and succeed, that’s one thing... if he doesn’t, then it doesn’t matter WHERE he goes to school, what kind of instruction he gets, who the teacher is, or how much it cost.

I meant that Sharpton and friends won’t scream to get inner city minority kids in a place like that because (apart from qualifying) they’d have to work their a^%es off sun up to sun down... and like doing it too. What... WORK???? Really!

There ARE inner-city kids who are willing to and do work their buns off, and they have a further battle with Sharpton-type influenced peers who accuse them of ‘acting white,’ and we all know how effective peer pressure can be. So to those kids who have worked hard and who get these scholarships, a double mazel tov.
