What if all the money dedicated to implementing this across the tech industry was dedicated instead to a stem scholarship fund. Students who qualify to a stem program at a certified university, and who are disadvantaged, could apply for such scholarships. Those scholarships could be fewer full ride, or more partial ride. The background hardship of the student could be taken into account in addition to poverty. Growing up a nerd in the inner city is a magnitude more difficult than growing up a nerd in a suburban school. In New York state, there are charter schools for disadvantaged students that protect studious students from disruptive students by expelling the disruptive students. The public schools can't do that, so studious students there are in a toxic environment, and their performance shows that. The students of those charter schools perform at levels equivalent to students in suburban schools. Just an alternative idea. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
