This study should be about the area in general not two families that support the evidence they are trying to make.

As a graduate from Fullerton High , we have a similar percentage of latin students to Santa Ana high . Troy High is a tech school their latin percentage is not in the same ballpark.

I went to school near this area at the time , I would have to say I saw more growth in numbers from the asian and middle eastern communities. The latino population of Fullerton is near mostly downtown.

Like I said in previous readings you are the product of your environment . Pick up the good and throw out the bad. It may change the outlook on life.

I believe our upbringing can effect our growth, but it does not mean we want to fail. Sometimes life gets in the way and priorities change. I believe people of color like myself have to work just a little bit harder to achieve the same recognition, but its okay doe not mean giving up something that makes us better.

Each Student's mind thinks and works differently. The teacher makes a big difference . I believe free tutoring should be apart of everyones education if needed.

In education and in life we should not continue to separate by race. It comes down to resources and teachers without proper funding the care for education will continue to diminish.

How did she overcome her struggle? Did she obtain a tutor , pay someone to do her math work? What advantages did she get because of her social standing.

I believe we say we are depended on our future & schooling , in reality that's gaslighting in my opinion. We could put more Resources into schooling rather than other city or country spending. Look at our education versus other countries educations does it have more pros than cons?

This is very true, I witnessed violence in my childhood due to my neighbors on a weekly basis . The children went from being so joyful and happy , to isolated and dull. The mind wants to escape, the only way to do that is to take your mind elsewhere.

Nutrition is one of the most crucial parts in youth growth & development . Food is like Gasoline, our bodies are cars without proper fuel we can not possibly have the energy to grow in anyway.

When it comes to anything in todays society, money is power. It creates more advantages and opportunities to ones dream school or job. It isn't so much about what you know now, it is more like who you know.

The author makes it seem like he linked poor education with being poor. Wealth does not always success, you just get more opportunities. This thinking was indeed part of the problem.

This is a hot take. I do not agree with this statement. We are victims of our area. It is how you look at it , how you move, how you do not stop. I grew up in south central it was my dream to come to this university. I have lost friends to the streets/area that we call home. The last thing us "poor" people want to do is fail .

Like I said in the other reading, It comes down to the educators and how they teach. Students feel when teachers want and care about them and their education. I will always love my first grade teacher because of how she treated and taught each student. It matters to us.

I do not believe they need to be sent to a fancy school with wealthier children. It starts with the educators and who hires the educators. I have seen the smallest schools have the best education. It comes down to how and what we teach.

I agree with this statement 99 percent. I would like everyone to win in whatever they chose to do. Failure is apart of the journey, the ones that want it more (success) will gain it over time.

I believe the challenges between private and public education is money and privilege. Although it sometimes is a better education, I have come to notice it is how you teach our youth a certain topic. This generation is easily distracted thus keeping them engaged is key .
