Wealthy Help Wealthy

A high school recently received a 60 million dollar grant from an alumnus.

I congratulate the donor on the occasion of the generous gift.

The high school is a good school with numerous wealthy graduates.

Only a few miles away stands an inner city high school that tells another story.

It is a story of deprivation.

It is story of a daily struggle to provide a decent learning experience.

Students don’t have text books of their own.

Text books remain in the classroom.

Students must push their desks together so they can share a text book.

Athletic programs are underfunded so many sports are eliminated.

Many high schools can’t afford a librarian which leaves doors to the library locked.

I am familiar with both types of high schools.

It is a continuation of the “Haves And The Have Nots!”

Are there any solutions?
