Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

The Census Bureau education data is not very accurate on Latino/as because of migration, which is higher for Hispanics than for other groups. Migration means that the people in the data may not have even been children in the U.S., and thus their educational attainment does not reflect the performance of the U.S. system of education. Hence, one cannot really use the data below to say much of anything.
