Not doable in the current economic system. Many schools would be more than willing to invest in training, should a very promising although very poor, talented kid knock at their door. But how this kid could have been introduced to classical music or any other activity requiring costly training if his/her family had to struggle every day with temporary underpaid jobs to pay the minimum necessary (clothes/health/food/school etc.)?
Potential talents do exist everywhere; I'm pretty sure there are at least a dozen potential pro golfers among the homeless in any country, but they should have been grown in a moderately rich family that allowed them to start practicing at least until someone discovered them. Our economic system however is designed to make the rich richer at the expense of the poor, so I don't think this is going to change anytime soon. |
