I've got to think some of the sub-par educational test scores posting of hispanics in Calif. has to do with the relevance they see in it. Their role models are hard working blue class hispanics who are making a fair to good living in physical labor blue collar jobs (gardeners, roofers, landscapers, restaurant cooks, seamstresses, maids, child care people, waitresses). And small business owners in the hispanic community that offer various services.

So I think a large part of their low educational scoring may be attributed to a "What's all this school stuff got to do with me?" attitude.
