This week reading understanding school failure in the Mexican origin population I found the three arguments of poor academic achievement categories some to astonishing. For instance the genetic argument that is when talent is allegedly inherited and “certain groups of people are genetically more able than others” (p. 16). I believe that this argument is discriminating because it is possible to increase the academic achievement of children by using the proper educational methods. As for the cultural argument I believe that it has more logic because often children struggle in school do to the language. Plus, culturally different student have the inadequate school resources do to the mismatching of schools and their academic success weakens.
