Chapter 6 Question 6

          When reading this chapter on thing that came to my mind, which seemed kind of dark at first and I felt bad for thinking about it, but this chapter really reminded me of Darwin's "Only the fittest survive." This may be true in the animal kingdom, and it seems to apply to our society today. While reading this it opened my mind that sometimes its not always about not having the resources available, but not having the attitude or drive instead. Kids now days who do have access to a public education still may drop out. This could be because  a multitude of different things, but a lot of time it can we drive or willing to learn because they may not have a strong work ethic. This Wheelman talked about in the chapter, how people are born with certain qualities that set them up for success. Even though this sounds harsh and hopeless, I do think that this is true. However, that doesn't mean successful people should leave to unsuccessful out to dry, if we can somehow then have people to help teach others these ways to success. Making public education more available does help to a certain degree, but what about counselors or career counselors   These people can connect and help someone in a more personal way that will help set up others for success.
