Race/Ethnicity/Class

Stories of a Young Girl main page

Students were asked to respond to the following question:

How do you think your race/ethnicity/gender/class impacted your education? Did your race or gender or class make you more or less educated? In other words, do you think you would have learned more or less if you were a different race or gender or class? How much self-esteem do you think you would have?
