Education

I subbed this week with a teacher who had three classes of anatomy with 10th and 11th graders. There were 71 students in all with 44 females, 34 Asian Americans one Black American male. I don't know the percentage of Asian Americans in this school but it is certainly not 48%. These students are interested in careers in medicine. The Asia students are either first or second generation brown skinned immigrants. They come from homes where 82% of the children live with both parents and education is a high priority. These families have the highest income of any group. It seems that education is more important than skin color when it comes to living the American dream.
