#9 Race and Ethnicity

   
       The article, "The Hispanic Dropout Mystery: A Staggering 30 Percent Leave School, Far More Than Blacks or Whites. Why? by Susan Headden" talks about the dropout rate for Hispanic students. It mentions that there are some reason why the dropout rate for children of American-born Hispanics is higher than the other races. First, language is one of the barrier to Hispanic academic success. However, main problem is the one third of Hispanic children live in poverty. Also, the lack of academic tradition, many Hispanic parents don't aware of education as much of American schools as whites and blacks do. For the solution, the school have to focus on more Hispanics. From the article, I realized that education is the most important thing in our society and also school should have right system to equally teach their students, take care of their students more.
