It was interesting to see an actual breakdown of the ethnicities/races in schools. I found it even more interesting how the projected percentage of ethnicity/race really isn't suppossed to change that much over the next 10 years. Unfortunately the playing field isn't totally equal yet. It still looks like whites are dominating the percentages as opposed to it being evenly spread out between the ethnicities and races. This needs to change.
Another statistic that supprised me was that 27% of school aged students in 2000 were born in foreign countries. I had no idea that 1 in 4 students in 2000 were born in other countries. I guess I grew up in a town that really isn't to diverse.
