well the science fair thing was stupid, rewarding students for that is right. BUT, why reward students with better opportunities for being able to naturally learn faster than others? i'm not making excuses for people and i know that people should be held accountable for their own choices. however, in some situations, when people try their hardest to make ends meet and try their hardest to make something of themselves, but because of their cir!@#$%^&*stances and position in society, it's more difficult... they deserve help to get to the top, or at least to a place that is satisfactory. again, i'm not making excuses, i'm just pointing out that the system is messed up because people who really need help and are honestly tryng their hardest, should have more support but don't get it.
