Upcoming Young Latinos
Students struggle to shine educationally due to their limit English proficiency. As the decade passes, more and more Latinos are dropping out of High School. Latinos are not given many opportunities to prove themselves so many of them are categorized as "Dropouts." Not knowing much English can really affect a student in every type of way. What makes it worst for these students is that many of them live in poverty. So there is not much money to afford a tutor or even attend a great school. In New York ALONE, Latino students fall in the category of:
- Undocumented youths
- Unaccompanied minors
- Labor migrants
- Disconnected youths
- Adults with limited literacy.
School struggles Mexicans HavePeople often assume that a person is stupid just because they dropped out of school. People often drop out of school for many reasons and one big reason is because the student may have to work to support his family; he may not have time to be in school. Many young adults in New York are forgetting about how important gaining an education is. They prefer investing their time in making a living with a low-income job just because they need the quick money.

Being called "Immigrant dropout"Low levels of schooling continue to effect many Mexican migrants going to school in the United States. There is a lot of education segregation and new forms of discrimination that still continue to occur in the United States. Schools in the United States have not put in their part to help students that are in need. They are always on their own. They are just too poor at times and their only hope is to learn on their own, which can be extremely hard. It is said that Latino students in the United States are the most segregated group in schools today. Mexican migrants especially feel like there is no way out. They feel like they are stuck there forever. They go to school in their town and it is is not safe at all to even attend. They must go to their zoned high schools because they do not have enough money to attend private schools.
