If I Were a Poor Black Kid

I think it's obvious that the author’s ideas are right. Anyone could agree with the idea that succeeding in school will usually bring success in the workplace. The author talked a lot about how these kids should use technology to their advantage. Kids at Deerfield High School don’t use technology to their advantage. There are so many things that we could use that would make our school work so much easier, but often times we don’t want to take the time to do so. I believe it’s fair to say that we have pretty motivated students here at Deerfield, yet we take a lot for granted. I feel like I could have written this article because I think the concepts are very simple. The author talks about what exactly underprivileged students need to do to try and get ahead in school. Though, I feel like the author makes it seem like it is easy for these underprivileged students to succeed. These kids grow up in a rough situation, and often times they have bad influences dragging them down. Not all of these kids have these resources this author talks about either. I'm not saying it is impossible for these kids to succeed, but they are not dealt a hand like many other kids are.
