Eller Chapter Three

I know in this chapter I was bothered on how "poor people" were viewed in the book. What part of this chapter bothered you the most ? I know personally was page 91, Tal taught us in PPCS 100 not to blame the victim, and on page 91 when it talks about "poverty pockets", I felt that all the blame on was being placed on those who were considered "poor". This really bothers me and the frame work around on how the problem should have been handled.
What was one thing you liked from this chapter, p.112personally I like how colleges did not discriminant on people based on there economic status.
