College tuition is at an all time high not allowing students to reach their academic goals. Speaking highly from experience, I believe college tuition is too expensive. The cost of college is one of the most worrisome topics for my family. An average household does not receive enough financial aid, books are exceedingly over priced, and tuition rises every year. People say scholarships, grants, and loans help students save hundreds of dollars in tuition making college affordable. Frank…

These immigrants, primarily from Asian and Latin American countries, have a profound impact on the ethnic, racial and immigrant composition of public schools in many major US cities. Immigration induces “native flight,” especially among white natives, from public schools into private schools, thus…

Homeless Students The extreme rise in the number of homeless families in the United States (U.S.) has led to an increase in the number of homeless students attending public schools (Abdul, M., Fidel,T., J., & Elbedour, S.2015).
