All Mexican students who came into my contact during 4 years of college were below average students, why?

Maybe because you went to an English speaking college and they did not know the language as well? I'm sure that there are intelligent Mexicans! I know some!

Maybe because the GPA of the person became too low.  Also, if a required class for that school is failed or the person receives too low of a grade that can make the school reconsider their reason for accepting the student.

Community colleges are often harder then regular colleges. Just with the amount of work and since there are smaller classes it is easier to get singled out.

Yeah i agree.. Im getting sick of it. I wonder if when you call a buisness in Mexico It says " for spanish press 1, for english press 2" And adding to LadyBlue..If mexicans are coming here to take advantage of our wonderful schools, then why is the rate of kids staying in school and graduating, for all races, dropping more and more each year? you figure, if so many millions are coming over each year, and want our education for their kids.. wouldnt the rate go up? just in general? or atleast level off? I want some numbers. cold hard facts, that ILLEGAL immagrants are helping our schools and economy. Oh sorry Ladyblue for getting off the subject of your question. but i really agree with you a whole lot!!!!

I don't think they really know what they're doing. They study 'coz their parents told them to do so. Then they look for job 'coz everyone does that, then they study more becoz they couldn't find any job. Simple. This happens to anyone who doesn't know what they're doing, not just young students.

No doubt you failed in the lower classes as well...do your own homework. God, you are the true example of "much ado about nothing", posting useless questions with "urgent" tag !!

This  is what a professor  told me once.HE said  the people  of  Mexico most  field workers  have about a 3rd grade  EDUCATION.THEY  leave the house to go to the fields to work.Alls  some of them know  is labor  jobs.And they  can only  learn English as far as they  went in school.So  if  they don't  understand  how to properly speak  and write Spanish   they will  never  learn  proper  ENGLISH.

Lab's are getting out of fashion. I don't think they are getting very effective Why don't you make some extra research on the only advanced bilingual college program in the US? www.suagm.edu/orlando This will be an excellent add-on to your conclusions in the project.

Well, to be completely honest, that school is pretty much for people who didn't fit in at all in high school, and it shows.  A freind of mine with similar problems went, and she said it was like being around a whole group of people with no real social skills and she ended up leaving after a year.

When I was a junior in high school, it was quite disadvantageous to my grade point average.

I was a student at King's College, London, many years ago. Probably there is not much difference, but they are possibly more disciplinarian? Of course students are always 'lively people' the World over.There is not so much emphasis on success-certainly there is much hard studying involved. The ethnic makeup of the British population has changed much over the years.

The Racists have to focus on an object that they feel is inferior to them to make themselves fell superior.  That is one; secondly they need a reason to say that they are alright and that their failures in life have been brought on by some one that is not of their belief. Thirdly they mostly come from a very low educational back ground with little or no tolerance to others around them mostly out of fear.\n\nNow on the legal Immigrates, pretty basic, because they work harder for less pay.  Not always better labor, but the economics escape me right now. But I would say give me a group of 5 Mexicans over 10 white boys any day for the same job.  They will not only learn the trade, but ask questions and work extra hard to learn more. I have been the only white boy in a welding group and I was called a good Mexican, I was proud that they accepted me and some times that was a little too weird for me at times.  But I loved working with those guys I learned a lot, not much Spanish because they wanted to learn English.

Wow i am flattered you asked a question about my culture. For those of you who said 4th grade level shame on you. My entire family has had college work done. Every Nicaraguan i know has at least completed high school. Our schools in Nicaragua are MUCH harder than the schools in America. I would say we are really good at educating ourselves and adapting to the work force. English is a mandatory class to take in Nicaragua so the majority of us speak fluent English.

Okay, thanks for sharing. UC applications are unimpressed by academics nowadays. They get too many kids with 5 AP classes passed with all 5's and 4.5 GPA. They want people who worked with homeless people or wasted their time with some other non-profit. Good luck getting into Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, or SB. They overimpacted those this year and will take a lot less students.

There's much more of a difference between students.  A lazy student and a good university does not get nearly as good an education as a hard working student in a less famous university.

I was in a center for 6 months, I had been in a private school and they seemed to think I was depressed.  What they didn't know was that I was a very quiet, reserved and watchful person.  I would have much rather been left alone than forced to socialize with other students.  When I left the "center" I had learned numerous ways to kill/hurt myself, met several kids who ended up committing suicide, and really really hated the private school that landed me there in the first place.  It also took me a very long time to forgive my parents for allowing it to happen at all.  They realized when I was older just how badly they had been manipulated by the system.
