True, but the women are seeing much more than the men, that what is has to do with them is getting them out of poverty. And they are going to college, on thei r own 2 to 1 over the guys.

They need to get educated and join the rest of the middle class. Girls kown that!

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
