Why are poor people poor?

Well its not in special measures but 'requires improvement' according to OFSTED.

It's not blaming the system, its just kinda fact of life.

If the system was fine you wouldn't go to a private school would you? I can see why it's in your interest to claim 'blaming the system is pathetic' when the system is working out pretty rosey for you. Its worked out well for me too.

Why are people in Bangladesh poor? Or India? Its because the generation previous was poor. Its not because their population on average makes worse decisions than those made by people in the UK.

Rattled much? Na I’m joking, seriously tho not many clothes are made here. I’m not talking about poor people in third world countries I’m talking about people in this country. Also why should wealthy people have to share the money they worked hard for.

No I’m not attacking people in third world countries, I’m just saying if u grow up on an estate here it’s still more than what a lot of people around the world have. Ur still getting fantastic opportunities in comparison to others, so when someone says ‘oh I’m doing this cos I failed at school, but it was the system, it was made against me’ I think it’s invalid

To be fair, people don't just end children to independent schools because they think the standard of education is better. Some people just want choice, a different ethos, to send their children to schools they attended, to go to a school close-by or one that offers boarding.

I might choose to use one GP. That choice isn't automatically suggesting I think I'd fail terribly if I went to another. The local authority does not, and should not, have a monopoly on educating children.

Some people are genuinely too poor to get a job. If you can't pay for uniforms and childcare and transportation it's hard to keep a job.

Maybe they should have thought about that before breeding

Do poor people not deserve kids? What about accidental pregnancies?

If they are so poor as to not be able to look after themselves let alone kids no.

If they are that poor they shouldn't be having sex either.

That’s their fault they have none it’s their **** up. Now sort it out instead of saying you never had the same opportunities this isn’t a third world country, my dad didn’t have much growing up but is now extremely successful. There are no valid excuse bar the obvious ones like disability

I don't blame those people (because of accidental pregnancy, being financially stable when you have kids and then becoming financially unstable, etc.)

but don't you think that only poor people not being able to have kids is a problem with our economic system that should be fixed?

How many books do you own?

But that person who 'failed at school' is still likely doing much better than someone in Bangladesh.
