Some people are lazy, irresponsible etc. but don't you think that's *usually* because their parents are? Children, after all, learn by example.

If you take a child early on from one of these families, and place it in a more affluent, caring and nurturing environment the chances are they will grow to achieve a lot more.

The question then is how do you break the cycle of chav begets chav, ad infinitum?
