David Ortez: A Political/Social Thought Blog: Hispanics and Higher Education

  • joechang · 4 months ago
    All kinds of scholarships are available to Hispanic students, which Asian or Non-hispanic white students can never expect to have. Most of Ivy League schools provides thousands scholarships to Hispanics students to attain the "diversity." If Hispanic students just a little bit more give attention to study, they can enter any top schools. All study shows that Hispanic students with 100-200 average -lower score in SAT they have been admitted to top schools. What do you guys expect more? Not studying hard enough is someone other than Hispanic student's fault?

    Joe,
    Although I do not talk about money ... you bring up a good point about scholarships ... but what good are they when Hispanics students cannot take advantage of them?

    I merely make the assertion that yes ... you can blame Hispanics students for their shortcoming but at the end of the day it is the State of Texas that has failed them ... is it no wonder that our Education Level is ranked so low out of all the 50 states? Who do you blame the students or the institution?
    You sir .... have a limited, narrow, ignorant point of view and it would help you to expand your world and understand that this is a bigger issue than "Hispanics" not studying hard enough.
