The Washington Post reports on a new poll conducted by Public Agenda. The poll tells us that Black and Hispanic students view their classrooms differently than their Anglo classmates. LINK
Black and Hispanic students see school as a more rowdy, disrespectful and dangerous place than their white classmates do, a poll says.
The findings suggest that many minority kids are struggling in the equivalent of a hostile work environment, according to Public Agenda, a nonpartisan opinion research group that tracks education trends.
Public Agenda polled students in the 6th - 12th grades, parents, and teachers. The polling report is titled, "How Black and Hispanic Families Rate Their Schools." LINK
