Rising above Stereotypes and Misconceptions I teach Advanced Placement Microeconomics to high school seniors. Our population is 90% minority split nearly evenly between African-American and Hispanic students. In addition we have a 67+% free and reduced lunch rate and a 77% transiency rate. As a result, our school faces many unusual challenges that are not typical of all schools. Due to these types of challenges and the stereotypes that often accompany them, our students are often misjudged regarding their academic prowess and people are surprised to hear of their successes. However, the students do not let this stand in their way and simply use every opportunity to overcome and change perceptions about themselves and our school. I’m trying to open their eyes and minds to a changing economy and I could really use your help.
