The Hispanic Dropout Mystery

This was a very short article but it caught my attention. The article talkes about how Hispanic have a higher rate of dropouts than white or black Americans. It points out certain things on why Hispanics dropout, a few are: Hispanics that are born here in america have a higher dropout rate than immigrants do. I agreed with the proposal that Senator Jeff Bingaman was making, in order to help these kids out there has to be some type of program that will help them out from the continuous dropout rate from increasing. When th hpanicteens were asked why they lefft school, if wasn't too shadowing to me, because most teens either have a family to support or they have other household responsibilities to take car of. The article stated that " Hispanic parents don't demand as much of American schools as whites and blacks", wouldn't one think that probably that's the reason their is such a high dropout rate from Hispanics? Hispanics get critized alot but it isnt right, because one eouldnt like it i f it was happening to them. This article reminded me of my high school, because most of my schools dropouts were hispanic andbthe usuallydroped out,because they thought school was point less, or became teen mom's.In the end I believe everyone has the fault in cause of these drop outs, one can prevent these this fom happening one just has to really care for it.

  1. This article made me really think about the points made in why Hispanics dropped out and I compared them to the few friends and relatives I know that dropped out and their reasonings are almost the same .

  2. What impact me the most about this article was that Hispanics who are born here in the United States are most likely to drop out than immigrants, i really thought it was the opposite.
