Population Changes / Affect Upon California's Latino
Students : 9 pages in length. As a result of the changing
demography of Latino students within California's school
system, it has become apparent that other changes have also
taken place due to this shift in population that adversely affect
the academic needs of the Chicano/Latino population at the
elementary, secondary and post secondary segments of the
educational pipeline. Humanity has been enduring an ongoing
battle for centuries: the strained relations among the races.
Despite efforts to put the past behind, signs remain at nearly
every juncture that there still exists a strong sense of racial
dissension. While many Caucasians do not see the problem
being as severe as it is represented, Latinos angrily reply that
the lighter skinned race has not had to endure such prejudice
and, therefore, cannot begin to identify with the situation.
Caucasian Americans do not interpret racism as a big problem,
therefore, they do not see a need for government intervention.
Similarly other United States minorities believe they often
receive unfair treatment, as well, because of their race.
However, assimilation into the California school system
presents yet another obstacle for the growing Latino population.
The writer discusses issues of academic interference, as well as
addresses potential solutions. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
