Latino PowerPoint: Virginia, Danielle, Jeff, Ryan

There were lots of great things this group presented. I really found the information about the drop out factories interesting. When you put low income students in low income school systems what exactly do you expect.

It seems to me that you set students up to fail in this type of environment. If the students are from low income families and they are put into low income school systems we may possibly end up with both teachers and students who do not care to even be in school to begin with.

Furthermore, what type of message do we send to students when we allow them to participate in a school system that is below level? Does the fact that Latinos have the lowest enrollment have to do with the lack of wanting to participate in an underdeveloped schools system or is there something else going on culturally that we do not know?

I am not sure if I expect answers to these questions or if I just felt like venting!
