Let's see, parents who want to finish raising their child right and don't want
to dump their 14 year old away from home. Parents who don't even think in terms
of the government or some other third party paying for their child's education.
Parents who don't make much money, but still put their child's desire for a lap
top ahead of their own desires.

If that's "white trash," then we can use a whole lot more of it in this country.
