> Some kids have much better resources than other kids

Do you mean in the sense of "engineer parents who encourage this kind of thing", or in the sense of "their own computer to research this on and time to build it", or in some other sense?

I'm assuming you wouldn't have been envious of some kids' access to cardboard and glue.

He didn't make the context he was referring to very clear, which is this: "Then my sisters had a science activity where they had to present a science project and I was helping them to choose a subject."

^ I'm with you. The parent comment doesn't make much sense to me.
