Hispanic Graduation RateHispanics have the lowest graduation and dropout rates…that's a lie. More Hispanics are graduating from high school today than at any other time in history. Even though the media portrays education as abysmal, the graduation rate among Hispanics has increased in recent decades thanks to educational improvements. Because teenagers tend to make decisions that jeopardize their education, educational programs are put in place to help students avoid doing so. make those mistakes and stay in school. Especially the problem raised by Kaufman when he observed that in a class of girls, with an average age between 17 and 18, fifty percent have children and half of these females would bring their own children. If a woman has to worry about more than one person, she will feel the need to drop out of school to take care of the child. To prevent the teenage birth rate from being too high, sex education programs have been put in place so that women can focus more on school instead of raising a child. This leads to female students not having children at a young age, so young women can have more time for self-improvement and graduate college. Another problem that is lowered to improve the degree is failing classes. Adam says if a student has a month where grades are low, it can lead to the student failing and giving up. Sometimes by supervising behavior and letting the student vent stress, grades can improve because if a student is having problems at home or making decisions that put them in problematic situations, this causes them to not focus 100% on their school work. If students do not focus on schoolwork, they will not do well in school and will not graduate. Sometimes there isn't much time for teachers to help students one on one. So, by distancing teenagers exposed to bad influences, they will be able to concentrate more on that English essay or chemistry lab. Hispanics are having more success in education than the public seems to know. With the assistance of educational programs, student benefits, and school improvement, the Hispanic student population will continue to improve and thrive. Works Cited Adams, Caralee J., and Sarah D.
