Prompt 2

According to infoworks when the students were asked about their ethnicity 30% responded African American/Black, 30% Latino/Hispanic, 22% Multi-response, 8% White, 8% Native Hawaiian or
Other Pacific Islander, 3% Asian. This was 4th and 5th graders. I am a reading buddy with 3 kindergarten students and 3 first graders. Not one of them is white. If I had to guess I would say that they are Black and Hispanic. Their is no language barrier, maybe an accent but nothing too heavy. If I remember correctly most of the teachers were white. I found this too be interesting. The students seem to listen to the teachers and do what they are told. A few of my students were shy at first but once I worked with them for a little while they became more open and friendly with me. Since this school is such a diverse school I feel the students will not feel uncomfortable around people of a different ethnic background. This is very important considering our society is becoming more and more diverse. This may work against them since they will not have any white privileges but I think it will benefit them more than hurt them later in life.
