I agree that education system US is not the best and could definitely improve, and that the situation in poorer cities is broken. But you are saying things like:

> Your child doesn't get the opportunity to be the beneficiary of that headline without first being purchased a top rate education at America's best high schools.

Does this mean I should say, “hey, earthscienceman only has PhD because his parents has purchased him top rate education in the America’s best high school”?




No. You should say exactly the words I wrote, which is "earthscienceman only has a PhD because he managed to survive a mediocre system through pure grit and determination"

My grit and determination is not a metric that shows that the system functions.
