The percentage of racial/ethnic minority students enrolled in the nation’s public schools increased from 22 percent in 1972 to 43 percent in 2004, primarily due to growth in Hispanic enrollments.
Given fluctuations in what constitutes minority status, I wonder if this is a social structure, personal identity, ethnic identity advantage, or other change?
That was an academic question.
Here’s a practical question: What difference does this change make, if students use Tablet PCs, UMPCs, and other mobile PCs to learn school identified academic content?
Can anyone point me to data that addresses this question?
