    There is no significant difference between the district percentage of Hispanic and Native American compared to the state percentage. They represent respectively, about 50% and 0.5% of the student body. However, African American represents two thirds of the student body in Alief ISD while they represent only about one seventh of the public school students statewide. While we see a higher percentage of African American in Alief ISD, we can also observe that there is a big variance of White students between the percentage in Alief ISD and the statewide percentage. In fact, two out of three students is White statewide while only about one out of thirty-three students are from the same ethnicity in Alief ISD. Identically, we can observe that the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander is higher in the district, 12.7% for only about 3.7% statewide. As we can see in Figure 2 below the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American, and White in Alief ISD did not significantly change since 2007. On the other hand, there is a more accentuate…

    Moral perfection is something to really strive for, as everyone has their faults it’s also nearly impossible to obtain. I for one am only human, I have many faults, some of which have the potential to be fixed with some of the virtues Benjamin Franklin talked in the excerpt “Moral Perfection” out of his book The Autobiography. In this excerpt he talked about thirteen virtues that he thought made someone morally perfect. Of these thirteen the three that stuck out to me, for me to become morally perfect were: order, frugality, and tranquility.…

    A culture that can be linked to a mixture of Africa, Spain, and taino indians. A US territory since 1898, which has made Puerto Rico not only a Spanish speaking country, English, is often a second language. Puerto Rico has a lot of distinct traits that have not only impacted their community but the world, from music to food Puerto Rican culture is very distinct and holds a good grip on traditions to be carried on generation to generation. 
 When talking about Puerto Rican culture food is always somewhere close in conversation. From alcapurrias to pasteles and everything in between traditional foods remind Puerto Ricans who they are and where they have come from. Food is always a focus when gathering for family events or even just a simple dinner at home. There is a staple of joining together after a long day. 
 Music from Puerto Rico can be heard in many of today's music all over the world. The influence of a Caribbean feels with different instruments such as Spanish guitars (requinto, the bordonua, and the cuatro) can be heard among many distinct different instruments. This music a fusion of Spanish and African can be heard in Puerto Rican traditional music. With music also comes some traditional dancing that have made Puerto Rican culture one to envy dances like the salsa, merengue and Bomba can be seen at parades and celebrations women wearing traditional colorful outfits or at a local backyard barbecue the feel and tradition passed down generations mark another reason why Puerto Rican culture is so prevalent and strong.

    One of two things must occur, teachers should monitor students progress within the year to ensure that they are continuing to make progress or government should continue to use standardized testing as a method to compare students to their peers. However, standardized testing often causes additional stress and anxiety in students. Also, standardized testing is not fair to all students, because some students come from diverse cultures where English is not the dominant language. Standardized testing is not the best way to track students yearly progress because often students develop stress and anxiety, and they often do not retain the information they are taught at the last minute before the test. In conclusion, standardized testing causes unnecessary added stress and anxiety in students and therefore it should no longer be used as a progress tracking system for…
