letter to editor

Dear Editor
When you state that 35.4% of Latinos fail to earn diplomas and point out the false excuse of “well, what can you expect from inner-cit schools? Those poor, minority kids just can’t or won’t do the work” As much as I agree that it is a false excuse and I believe that there should be a solution attempt in providing the future of Hispanics with more graduates, I do believe that there is a lack of motivation in the Latino community. So by stating that they won’t do the work, I wouldn’t call it a full false excuse.
Then when you state that there is no big mystery to why kids drop out, you list all these reasons in which I agree completely. There are so many reasons why kids drop out, but you conclude the paragraph by saying that they are lured by gangs, which is one of my main points in my research paper, and I believe that’s the main reason why so many Latino kids are dropping out.

Sincerely Danny McDonald
