The statistic that caught my attention was barely any African American & Latinos students graduate from high school. Some examples are 55% Latinos graduating, 51% African American
& 76% white students graduating. What I'm trying to say is that either African American & Latino students like the streets more than there education or there family is in poverty in other words have no money. It is also known that high school graduates live 7 years longer than a high school drop out & what I feel about all of this is that they're trying to say all Latino & African American are all the same like probably every one else thinks that Latino & African American are stupid or just don't like school or maybe even think that Latino & African American parents don't care about there Children's education or don't give them discipline as much as white parents. All I have to say is that were all not the same we all have are differences & a lot of us have difficulties in school. So what do you THINK about that?

ReplyDeleteNileishka, I think you are raising some good points and serious issues. I'm glad you brought up that not all people in one "race" are the same. Everyone is a different person and control their destiny. I think the sad part is, or the question to ask is, do some people, because of their life situations, have less control than others?
ReplyDeleteWell it all depends on the students because some students have life situations and they still go to school and try to graduate some are just plane lazy and others just decides that cause they have problem at home or don't have money they are better off finding a job to help there family or just stay home.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point, Nileishka. I also think it's important to see people as individuals, not just members of a racial group. Not all Latinos or black people are dropping out of school or graduating with lower skills. However, like you say, some people do not make smart choices or do not always have many choices for their future. What can we do so that we can change these statistics so more people can make healthier choices?
