The article The Hispanic Dropout Mystery: A Staggering 30 Percent Leave School, For More Than Blacks Or Whites. Why? written by Susan Headden, is about the large dropout rate among Hispanic teenagers in the U.S. and Mexico. The article states the different reasons why this is such as poverty, language difficulty, ill-educated or illiterate parents, and so on. This issue with the Hispanic Dropout has been a problem for quite sometime now. We went on so many years trying to ignore this horrible situation. The more we ignore, the more likely it will become harder and harder for the problem to diminish.

As you can see race makes the world go around in different places you would've never guessed it could go.
