1. Quote: “Why are there rich people and poor people, abled and disabled, urban and rural, multilingual and monolingual, highly educated and poorly educated?”
My thinking: I can imagine that in the suburban district a lot of parents can afford additional fees to contribute to their child’s education which in rural and urban areas they have little to no money to contribute due to trying to maintain a home.
