IS IT HARDER FOR POOR KIDS TO SHINE IN SCHOOL? (Straits Times 14 April pg47)

Children who are living in poverty might face a more difficult time shining in school. However that does not mean that they will not be able to excel. I have known friends who are financially challenged abd yet they can top their classes. Perhaps this fuels their determaination to study hard to escape that cycle of poverty. I am sure that as long poor kids to not end up in self-pity, they can make it. Plus the government is looking into providing more educational opportunities for them such as by setting up the Opportunity Fund to pay for little extras like school trips and computers.
