That nicely summarizes my issue with the whole “oh, we need to help students more, spend more on resources...” rhetoric: there are a practically infinite number of resources available to all students of all income & intelligence - at some point the student has to choose to use them. To wit: there’s far more educational tools available to everyone than there is time to use anywhere close to all of it.
We live in an amazing age. Nobody lacks for anything but self-motivation.
This is what I have been saying for quite some time.
