SATs now giving bonus points for being poor.

Why did I bust my ass for my kids the last 25 years exactly?

Don't see the connection. How do SATs now affect you and your 25 years of whatever?

@Elegy Point well taken -- revised.

@SW-User Because they won't need the assistance, American dream achieved-ish.

@Elegy I should have slacked off -- who knew.

@SW-User Meh, it happens. Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

@Elegy We can't afford college out of pocket, and can't get financial aid, either. It feels shitty. If college becomes free (they will have an income requirement) I swear I'll have to quit a well paying job to fuck my income up so my kid can get an education. This isn't right. I thought the country was supposed to reward hard work and achievement, not punish it.

@Elegy I also don't believe what I achieved should be artificially discounted because others didn't. Others couldn't disagree more.
