That respectability thing again, that thing people need to be able to access education and progress, but can’t get unless they already have that education, or were born into it.
Oh, and the gap between being able to afford those things and not is growing every day.
But sure, it’s the parents fault for having kids.
@Alien_Sunset Yes, it is. If you're not in a good situation, either mentally or financially, you should not have children. It makes it difficult for you and them, and it's not fair to them. And again, education is mandatory, so it isn't as if we're dealing with people who never learned to read, etc. But there have been those from the lowest classes who climbed the social ladder because they were determined. Many did it through business, but some did it through education, through studying on their own, or obtaining scholarships. They didn't start with the best of everything, but they made the best of what they had and went far in life. It's not impossible. It depends on what you want and how hard you're willing to work for it.
