we also have to look at how these surveys were conducted to exclude any possibility of a bias. and just because a survey states that 6 out of 10 people who watch TV are overweight, it does not necessarily mean that watching TV leads to weight gain.

The fact that hispanics and/or afroamericans have a higher level of failure is more social than ethnical. The level will increase as they are able to integrate into the working society.

What needs to be addresse is an inferiority complex within the family unit. Healthy boundaries need to be found out by educational instructors who mostly deal with the children of the home. Teachers need to Discern the dynamics at home to better CATCH a problem. Teachers spend a great portion with the children and if they are to have parent teacher meetings they need to not base the whole year on that initial meeting. Those who spend time with children need to develop relationships of trust.

The way we teach children in public schools needs to change. Even in many colleges the teaching process (learning process) could use an overhaul. According to many different polls (I know, polls can be very subjective.. but the TREND is overwhelming) The profession that ranks at the Bottom for colleague collaboration and sharing of ideas is teaching and education professionals. They are at the bottom or close to the bottom in every poll (Check out gallup dot).

This is a good place to start.
