if a person does not value education and does not become educated, they limit their opportunities and create a much more likely scenario that they will find themselves in an area without opportunity.
its more complicated than that, b.c its not that the kid doesn't value education, its that his parents do not value education.
and the reality is, education is no longer a get out of poor card free.

at some point you have to display blame. if you blame the parents, their defenders will shed blame to the grandparents
i avoid this by talking about it in terms of values/culture. it doesn't need a person to directly blame

no it's not. that means the people who willingly choose to be uneducated will segregate themselves behind economically further

Since when?
And you don't have to be a genius to have opportunities. The fallacy that there is a lack of opportunity for jobs out there is laughable.
You can't get into college? Learn a trade. Entry level pipefitter helpers are making $20/hour.
What opportunity is lacking?
