I understand your line of thought, but the individual specifically being talked about is returning to her home to contribute to the success of her community. Literally the exact opposite of what you are complaining about. Seems like this form of support, just providing an opportunity, succeeds in its goal.

People leaving a village or city for other opportunities is nothing new and something pretty much all humanity (and species) experience.

If the kids all have better lives, isn't that a good thing? What is noble about an impoverished village where everyone just exists?

What a strange thing to say

The village is not alive.

A family is not alive.

I hope when I am in need and someone thinks about helping me they don't find someone like you, man.

That might be true, but should we clutch our pearls after we killed our villages?

It's a good point. If only a fraction of children can go into STEM subjects & can get good in practical knowledge. They can give a lot back to their community by creative problem solving with the limited resources they have!!

I think it's hard to get child curious towards particular domain if they don't get any external push of some sort. I got into computer science because I used to tweak computers & play games in childhood in home computer.
