Education Equality for All
In America, everyone has an equal opportunity to education.
However, some Asian Americans struggle to obtain a degree. In the article,
"Complicating the Image of Minor Minorities Success: A Review of Southeast
Asian American Education by Bic Ngo and Stacey J. Lee, Southeast Asians are heavily stereotyped in
their performance in education. They face culture conflict because some
cultures perceive education unimportant. However, some of the younger
generations do not want to follow the culture standards because they want to go
to school. Other Southeast Asian Americans struggle with race discrimination
because society gives them no hope for success. They view them as dropouts,
gangsters, or welfare dependents. It is unfair of the school to view their students in that descending way.
Teachers or anyone in the school should only care about giving children the
education that were given to them. However, some Asian Americans like the
Vietnamese are given high notes about how they perform well in school. But they
face racism , which, as a result, they are secluded and don't have the best
social life with other students.
I believe if the teachers weren't biased and were true to
their jobs, then I think there wouldn't be any stereotyping because teachers
and other school administrators can stop stereotyping and create a fair
environment.
Why is it necessary to put down others and give those that
have the higher success the attention than those that don't have the high
success?
