<p>Whether we like it or not, some of this is cultural. The asian culture as well as the kids push for these outcomes. My minority students, (most, not all) when I talk to them about college, have difficulty seeing beyond their own neighborhood, and the family dynamics do not make it convenient for the kid to want to do anything more than CC, if that. elite schools, education and college are as foreign as sending their child to Mars. It is a difficult discussion, and they really don't understand FA and the possibility of going past CC. I have tried to mentor and work with these kids, and it is an uphill battle. Sometimes, when I can get through to the kids, the parents are the stumbling block.</p>
