Yes, I'm sure. It's not a secret that the rich get better care and services and it's assumed that "weathly" families equal "better" families in the eyes or many. I'm sorry to hear about the girl who came to school dirty....I'm sorry to hear her mother suffered from alcoholism.....I hope they both got the care and medical attention they deserved. There is a huge problem with discrimination against the poor. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it either....just a little education and placing our learned biases aside. The people with the most problems historically have the least likelihood of receiving help with these problems.
