This article made me cry. I feel for those folks who are so poor (the parents in this article, and the kids), everyone should have a decent life, a chance to earn enough money to get an education, or have access to eduction. This kind of thing is an enormous loss of potential for humanity, for these folks that can't get access to education. It's for people like that that we should look into making college much less expensive if not free. I am from a poorer, less developed southern state. I went to a high school with a lot of poor people. I was lucky enough to go to college, my parents had both been so I had an enormously easier time than most folks, including money to pay for it plus an expectation that I would go. Whenever I have gone back to high school reunions, I feel so sorry for those people that were never able to go to college, or develop their potential.
