A year back, when the government made it mandatory that all private schools take on students from poor families, I knew the experiment would fail. A school implemented it, and found that despite their best intentions, they just couldn't cope. The kids who were given admission may well have to leave- their dream snatched away after seeming to come true.
Why couldn't the government have listened to people who knew, and put their effort elsewhere?

Natasha - So often, I think, governments make decisions based on studies, reports and so on that do not have a human face to them. They don't listen to the people who will have to live with their decisions.
And many officials have lost touch with reality.
So unfortunate!

A blind eye turned just to try and be equalizers. Doesn't always work.
Again with the good intentions...when will they learn!! There are always consequences and no one seems to learn from them!
Such a shame for the kids!

It is sad when good intentions go awry!
