[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the Latino and African communities have been arriving for a few decades, so many of their kids should be adults but I feel like I should see more professionals in their communities. With all the emphasis that school systems play, what happens? Do the kids fail to launch or not go to college? Just seems a little strange since there are so many kids from Ethiopia, and Honduras, and other countries.

Not against diversity for children but am genuinely curious if anyone has insights.[/quote]

It depends on emphasis they put on education. If kid's family and their culture encourages the value of education, the kid will most likely go to college and get a professional job (like myself). If education is not valued, they will go many different directions - from small businesses, hourly worker, skilled technicians, and even in jail. [/quote]

It's not just that. Think of the cost. If your parents barely have money to pay for monthly bills, how will college work? Maybe if you are super bright, you might get some merit money but what about everyone else? How will they pay for it? One course at a time? Community college is available but the completion rate is very low.[/quote]
