Hispanic students should forget excuses to drop out

“I can’t think of a more serious obstacle to Hispanic progress than school dropouts. But, frankly, I am tired of hearing the same old excuses for the problem.

Academic leaders are worried that a new underclass, composed mostly of Hispanics, is emerging in our economy. Even worse, few of those experts seem to know how to deal with the situation.

But I doubt Hispanics are so naive that they don’t know where the problem is. They do. What we don’t know is when the Hispanic community will do something about it.”
