education and wealth
Its true that the higher a family's income is, the average ACT is a lot higher, and the higher the education the student recieves. With a higher education, the student will get a high income job, and then they have children and the whole cycle starts over again. So really, the middle class system is dying and wealthy will just keep getting wealthy. There are very few who start from the bottom to work there way to the top. The reason poorer families can't recieve higher education is because of "rules" of America. How would poorer families get good education if good educators don't want to work at a school with a smaller income. The children are deprived of better education.

I know! It's really sad how people who are less fortunate really have less opportunities to improve themselves, so they never get better. The only people who can ascend are the rich.
My opinion on this topic is tow-sided. First, I agree with Kasange on the fact that people who are rich, have a good chance of ascending and improve themselves. ALthough most people see it like this, I feel that even if you are less fortunate, there are employers out there that are willing to take a chance and give you an opportunities, if you are prepared for the position. (well-groomed, dressed properly, and have respectable speaking skills) My idea comes from a famous quote, "Success is when preparation meets opportunity"
