When children feel valued higher productivity in learning and creativity can flourish. When students and teachers are able to see diversity as strength it opens doors for our younger generation to an increasingly diverse world. The outcome from children going to a school with children that are all the same creates children who grow up not fully understanding the world around them.
Diversifying enrollment in public schools through socioeconomic integration is believed to have a direct impact on children's attitudes towards those in other ethnic groups. As our country’s population becomes more diverse, so does our school population. Nationally, the white population has decreased with the total minority population increasing. The most significant change is the increase in the Hispanic population. This change has impacted education within our public schools.
