[edit] Quit or finished

From the two or three times i have read angela's ashes i get more of the impression that because he was too poor frank was unable to continue his education rather than quiting school outright. does anyone else think the wording should be changed?

I haven't read the book, though I really should one day, but I just watched large parts of the movie. And at least from the movie, it seemed like he didn't want to go to secondary school, because he wanted to start earning money. And this priest even slammed the door in front of him and his mother, without even saying one word them, meaning that they wouldn't let such a poor boy into secondary school. What a shame, really. At least that was what it was like in the movie. But it's nice to know, that Frank went to college in America, even though he never went to High School (!).

[edit] Non-pertinent photograph

The photo of McCourt with three other men has nothing to do with the article. One doesn't know who the men are (two of the three are identified, but so what? who are they? why are they pictured in an article about McCourt?) or how this photo relates to the article. This photo should be removed.
