The article was uncomfortable for me to read because I was one of those high-poverty kids. I would have loved to have a teacher who slipped me some extra food.
I am not even sure the kids she ranted about were even the most privileged. The kid with the full ride to private school, for example.
I think you focused too hard on "full ride" and missed the parts about "private school" and "traveling the world by private jet." Regardless of whether the parents are actually paying for it, somebody is. Those are privileges which are inaccessible to the overwhelming majority of students... the gifted included. So her point is well made.
