It might be difficult, but it isn't impossible. And, that's not what you said the first time. Your sentence structure made it appear that the opportunity was not presented, and that would be a fault of society or government. The point I was making is that the opportunity is always there if one has the capacity to take what is presented. To be sure, some presentations manifest themselves better than others, and that is a reflection on society or government. But, no matter the quality of the presentation, NOT taking full advantage is a reflection of the kid. Now, the kid may have issues beyond his or her control, but that isn't what you said that I responded to.
