Dropout Rates In Grades 7-12
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. What lies at the crux of stereotype vulnerability is the manner by which ethnic populations perceive themselves as being academically subordinate to their white counterparts. This perceived testing arena, where individuals are forced to perform at a certain level expectant to their social status, punctuates this skewed perception, with some studies indicating that differences in measured achievement may result from cumulative differences in life experiences. African-Americans and Latinos, for example, often realize a sense of inadequacy when placed within certain circumstances indicative of stereotype vulnerability, thereby significantly hampering their ability to work beyond the psychological hindrance toward a more realistic test result, with a substantial number of these situations directly related to language deficiency. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Dyscalculia
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 8 page paper on the learning disability dyscalculia. Dyscalculia is a developmental mathematical learning disability which is often considered part of or the same as dyslexia, the developmental reading and writing disability. While dyslexia has been known to cause some dysfunction in the understanding of mathematical elements, dyscalculia is much more complex in that it also includes over fifty different distinct classes of mathematical disabilities which include elements of confusion of abstract and strategic thought, an inability to properly construct time, schedules, or visual representations of places and directions as well as a person’s inability to conduct many tasks necessary in the running of a household such as financial planning, balancing checkbooks and credit cards, and may also include instances of people being habitually late, lost or unable to locate objects among other factors. Researchers in special education feel that the disability of dyscalculia is not being addressed in the educational systems because largely Americans are more accepting of being mathematically deficient but find that being deficient in reading and writing is not socially acceptable. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
