What was school life like for poor people?
Well poor people get free food, bus rides, and other extra curricular activities. While us rich people pay for food, do get bus rides, and we do get the extra stuff but we have to pay. School for people is pretty much the same just they don't have the same lifestyle as us.
Why is the gap between the rich and poor?
Often, the rich have more opportunity than the poor: the rich can afford to go to the best schools, have the best computers and technology, and get the best jobs as a result. Many poor people are born into neighborhoods where the schools are bad, there is little access to technology, and there are few role models to serve as mentors. Meanwhile, in many countries (America among them), the tax code is written to benefit the rich, who know how to use various methods to avoid paying taxes and to keep most of their wealth, which they then pass on to their kids, continuing the same cycle. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with keeping one's wealth or passing it on to one's kids; but America used to have a lot more social mobility, so those who were poor could dream of one day moving up. Sadly, that does not happen as much any more. Studies do show that over the past thirty years, the rich really have gotten much richer, while the poor really have gotten much poorer. Without social mobility, the gap between these two groups will either stay the same or get wider.
