"Because everybody needs a chance... Bla blah blah." You can't punish the kid for the parents mistakes. Fuck that. I don't work hard to support other people's kids. Down here in Florida, they do one even better than a merge. They take x amount of kids from an underprivileged district and swap them out with kids from a better district. Bussing em in and bussing them out. That was back in the 1990's.
