There was a big number of unemployment among black teenagers, because discrimination was still a significant factor. The unemployment rate for black people who had attended college, was 27.2% and those who had graduated from high school was 23.6%. It was higher than the unemployment rate for white high school dropouts, which was 22.3%. It was obvious that the black students were being discriminated, because the white students that didn’t t even finished high school were getting more jobs opportunities than blacks. With the Affirmative Action program there was a dramatic increase in college attendance among blacks, yet there was still an astounding amount of unemployed blacks.
Many students pursing an advanced degree at lower-tier colleges or universities will have less life and career aspirations than their Caucasian and Asian counterparts. Those are the ones who can even afford to further their education. Teaching to the test, rising cost of education and misguided reforms are all playing a large role in limiting the opportunities for many Hispanic and African American students. The underrepresentation of minority students in higher education is particularly pronounced at the nation’s most selective colleges. One in twenty-five top-tier college students is a minority.
While many people in the United States look for higher education after high school, financial barriers are in the way for a lot of these students due to rising college tuition costs. Although these high prices are seen as a negative by most, arguments have been made that they may actually be a good thing. Some say the higher price tag forces (potential) students to not take their education for granted. The opposing side responds with statements saying a lot of people aren’t given a chance and these prices are to far out of their reach. The bottom line is that the high and rising cost of college isn’t a good thing and reduces the amount of qualified workers.
Just four years ago, family savings and income accounted for thirty-six percent of college costs. Unfortunately, because home equity loans are harder to get, many families have to turn to education loans with higher interest rates. While median family income is markedly down, tuition and fees have spiked over the past few years. In fact, public institutions of higher learning have become twice as expensive to attend over the past decade. Meanwhile, to make matters worse, State funding is down twenty-two percent over the same time period.

Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High. To sum up our survey we asked students to tell us how big of a problem they though cheating was in our school on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the most serious. 41% responded a 3 with the rest of the figure split evenly between 1,2,4, and 5. We concluded from this that students don’t really care about the subject or are indifferent about it.

Education Debt in the United States and Abroad and Finding a Possible Solution “The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed with huge increases over the past five years as college aid has been reduced by states budgets. By every indication, college is now more expensive than it has ever been, making it out of reach of not only poor Americans, but even middle class ones” (Jilani).

"The State's university system, once the envy of the nation, has fallen in quality combined with increased demands for admission by an ever-growing number of applicants," says the CAPS report. In the schools, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, enrollments rose from 4.8 million in 1990-91 to almost 6 million ten years later. By 2000, "there were more Hispanics than other children enrolled in the State's schools." California is currently spending $6,837 per student, "so more than $16 billion was spent last year on students whose native language was other than English." California has been so mismanaged by its governors and legislature that it is billions in debt.
