This doesn't counter my point through. From the first link[1]

> "I could not study because of financial problems, so I thought I must send my children to school and wipe out the darkness from their lives,"

> "I got tremendous support from my school teachers," he said.

This is exactly what i said. Environment of achievement is more important. "poor" doesn't mean just lack of financial resources. you cannot simply overcome lack of parental and social investment and care by reading a SAT book.

> I would say the environment, social expectations, exemplars within family/friends, peers ect matter more than a book.
