A huge wealth gap has opened up between black and white people in the US over the past quarter of a century – a difference sufficient to put two children through university – because of racial discrimination and economic policies that favour the affluent the prevailing attitude in inner-city schools that studying to achieve good grades, and ultimately professional success later in life, is "acting white."

Fixed it.

This +1000

MIT offers every single course online for free at ocw.mit.edu - the material and plan is there if the student is motivated. Many other schools are doing the same to some degree.

If you’re motivated, education is free. Supervision and certification costs extra.

There is no excuse.
