another good argument for people from low income families who may may have trouble staying in college due to subpar living conditions which affect their grades.

i’ve read people’s comments on some other forums (not here) blaming poor people for not studying or trying hard enough and that is the reason they are poor. which is obviously crazy to think that about everyone who comes from the lower class is lazy or not trying hard enough.

i am thinking about a lot commuters, who live at home because they can’t afford a dorm or an off campus apartment. i’ve met many people who would just stop going to college or lose multiple days only to find out the only car in the family broke and that persons grades were hurting so they later on ended up dropping out.

always good to understand where people may be coming from

This is an extremely common belief I’ve seen from my dad’s generation. His parents worked hard and succeeded, therefore anyone who didn’t succeed, didn’t work hard.
