Hispanic Heritage Month highlights thecontribuons of Lano Americans alongwith celebrang their culture. Whilethe annual observance is important,on a larger scale such achievement andcommemoraons take place every dayin school district and college ethnicstudies programs across the country.

My preference would be ethnicstudies would never be necessary,Northern Arizona University AssistantProfessor Polics & Internaonal AairsStephen A. Nuo, PhD told VOXXI. Itwould be integrated in the normalcurriculum of any school district andparcularly school districts that serveHispanics.

Over the past three decades, Nuofeels interest in ethnic studiesprograms have increased as a directresult of diversifying faculty, whichin turn aected the decision-makingprocess at the local level.

More and more, theres at least akind of awareness where this historyis being ignored, Nuo said. Also, we

have a growing need as demographicschange.

However, there are pockets aroundthe naon where students, due tolack of funds or a by calculated eortfrom district leaders, are devoid ofLano ethnic studies. Such systemacignorance infuriates Nuo. Moreso, the lack of such curriculum is adetriment to not only Lano studentsbut Lano culture.

The reason why its necessary isbecause those curriculums dontpriorize or dont integrate thathistory that speaks to Hispanics,Nuo said. So were le without anydiscussion, dialogue, exploraon ofour past. Hispanics have been here andare amongst the earliest members toconquer this country and explore andestablish colonies and cies.

How ethnic studies aect Lanostudents

At the most basic level, Hispanic ethnicstudies programs allow individuals tobeer understand their culture, ideals,heroes and struggles.

Ethnic studies key in preservingHispanic heritageThis noon may becherished within the Lano community,but Nuo points out theres a largerargument to be made regarding ethnicstudies programs that should endthe discussion about whether suchcurriculum oers any benets to thegeneral public.

Nuo said the single biggest proponentin favor of Lano students learningabout their culture is a 2012 Universityof Arizona study, which was originallycommissioned by an an-Mexican-American studies group.

The report showed that Mexican-American studies not only helpedstudents to improve and getbeer results with graduaon andcollege entrance but it also had animprovement in subjects you wouldntthink it would, like math and science,Nuo said.

So giving people a greater senseof pride in themselves has animmense impact on how people learn.Historically, this has been a huge

barrier for Hispanics. If youre Hispanicand most of your family and historycomes from the south Mexico andall of the cultural rituals used are basedon Europeans or East Coast migraon,thats really only half the story of thecountry.

Ethnic studies and Hispanic heritage

Finally, Nuo has high hopes the noonof ethnic studies will remain a prioritywithin the Lano community. He feelsthis is especially true during HispanicHeritage Month.

Its important that we recognize thecontribuons that all people make tothis country, Nuo said.

Especially how in our country forway too long the story of Lanos hasbeen ignored. In many mes andmany ways, its been purposely keptfrom Lanos themselves, so havingHispanic Heritage Month allows thechildren, our kids and even manyadults, to rediscover who we are andour contribuon to the greater good ofthis country.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Casi 6 mil lones dejvenes en Estados Unidos no estudianni trabajan, segn un estudio dado aconocer el lunes.

Eso es casi 15% del grupo de entre16 y 24 aos, segn la coalicin TheOpportunity Naon, que prepar elinforme.

Otros estudios han mostrado que losjvenes que no estudian ni trabajanpierden la oportunidad de adquirirlas destrezas que necesitarn mstarde en la vida. Sin esas experiencias,enen menos probabilidades de ganarbuenos sueldos y ms probabilidadesde ser una carga econmica en suscomunidades.

``No es un grupo al que podamosdar por descontado. Necesitan unaoportunidad, dijo Mark Edwards,director ejecuvo de la coalicin denegocios, grupos de inters social,analistas polcos y organizaciones sinnes de lucro dedicados a mejorar lamovilidad econmica.

``La tendencia es verlos como almasperdidas, insalvables. Pero no es as.

Pero cambiar esa dinmica no serfcil.

La coalicin tambin concluy que 49estados han tenido un aumento en elnmero de familias que viven en lapobreza y 45 en el ingreso familiar mediobaj el ao pasado. El poco posivoinforme subraya el reto que enfrentanlos jvenes ahora y pronosca queesos retos probablemente se acentena medida que envejecen.

En los primeros lugares de la lista delos estados que apoyan a sus jvenesestn Vermont, Minnesota y Dakotadel Norte. En los lmos lugares estnNevada, Mississippi y Nuevo Mxico.

``El desno de esos jvenes condemasiada frecuencia est marcadopor el lugar donde viven, dijo CharlieMangiardi, quien trabaja para YearUp, una endad sin nes de lucroque capacita a jvenes y los ayuda aencontrar empleo.

``No tenemos escasez de jvenesque necesitan una oportunidad, dijoMangiardi.

En algunas de las ciudades ms grandesdel pas, como Chicago, Houston,Dallas, Miami, Filadela, Nueva York,Los Angeles, Atlanta y Riverside,California, hay ms de 100.000 jvenesque no estudian ni trabajan, concluyel informe de The Opportunity Naon.

``Con frecuencia les falta capital

social en la vida, dijo Mangiardi.``Hay muchos jvenes talentosos ymovados, leales y trabajadores. Peroocurre que no los contratan, agreg.

Po eso Year Up invierte un ao entrabajar con graduados de secundariapara ensearles cosas como

programacin informca o reparacinde equipos, conocimientos que puedenusar cuando el programa concluye. Msde 4.500 jvenes de zonas urbanas hancompletado el programa y 84% hanencontrado trabajo.

Pero la situacin es mucho ms dicilpara otros.

En Mississippi y Virginia Occidental,uno de cada 5 jvenes no estudia nitrabaja, y la proporcin es mayor en los

vecindarios ms anguos. Mississippiene una tasa de desempleo de 8%, yVirginia Occidental aproximadamente7%. Como la mayora de los estados,han visto caer el desempleo desde2011, pero los invesgadores sealanque el cambio puede deberse a quemenos personas buscan trabajo y ms

sencillamente han abandonado la ideade encontrar trabajo.

``Muchas veces no queremos mirarlas cifras porque no queremosdeprimirnos, dijo Rob Denson,presidente de la instucin de estudiosDes Moines Area Community Collegeen Iowa.

Pero es una realidad incmoda quenecesita una solucin, dijo.

WASHINGTON (AP) Almost 6 millionyoung people are neither in school norworking, according to a study releasedMonday.

Thats almost 15 percent of those aged16 to 24 who have neither desk nor job,

according to The Opportunity Naoncoalion, which wrote the report.

Other studies have shown that idleyoung adults are missing out on awindow to build skills they will needlater in life or use the knowledge theyacquired in college. Without thoseexperiences, they are less likely tocommand higher salaries and morelikely to be an economic drain on theircommunies.

This is not a group that we can writeo. They just need a chance, saidMark Edwards, execuve director ofthe coalion of businesses, advocacygroups, policy experts and nonprot

organizaons dedicated to increasingeconomic mobility. The tendency is tosee them as lost souls and see them asunsavable. They are not.

But changing the dynamic is not goingto be easy.

The coalion also nds that 49 stateshave seen an increase in the number offamilies living in poverty and 45 stateshave seen household median incomesfall in the last year. The dour report

underscores the challenges youngadults face now and foretell challengesthey are likely to face as they get older.

A young persons community is oenclosely ed to his or her success. TheOpportunity Naon report tracked

16 factors Internet access, collegegraduaon rates, income inequalityand public safety among them andidened states that were doing wellfor its young people.

Topping the list of supporve statesare Vermont, Minnesota and NorthDakota. At the boom? Nevada,Mississippi and New Mexico.

Their desny is too oen determinedby their ZIP code, said CharlieMangiardi, who works with Year Up, anonprot that trains young adults forcareers and helps them nd jobs.

We have the supply. We dont have

a lack of young people who need thisopportunity, Mangiardi added.

Just look at some of the naons largestcies. Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami,Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles,Atlanta and Riverside, Calif., all havemore than 100,000 idle youth, theOpportunity Naon report found.

Oen mes they lack the social capitalin life, Mangiardi said. Theres awhole pool of talent that is movated,

loyal and hardworking. They just cantget through an employers door, headded.

Thats why Year Up spends a yearworking with high school graduatesto teach them career skills such as

computer programming or equipmentrepair they can use when the programends. It also includes life coachingso they can learn skills such as memanagement. More than 4,500young adults from urban areas havecompleted the program and 84 percentof them have found work.

But its a far tougher me for otheryoung people.

In Mississippi and West Virginia, 1 in 5young people are idle higher thantheir older neighbors. Mississippi hasan overall unemployment rate of 8percent, while West Virginia postsabout 7 percent. Like most states, they

saw their unemployment rate fall since2011, but researchers cauon thatshi could come from fewer residentslooking for work and from more whohad simply given up their search forjobs.

And its not as though the challengesemerge from nowhere. Quality earlychildhood programs help studentsfrom poor families overcome societalhurdles, and on-me high schoolgraduaon rates oen follow quality

schools other factors OpportunityNaon examined in its report.

A lot of mes we dont want to lookat data because we dont want to bedepressed, said Rob Denson, presidentof Des Moines Area Community College

in Iowa.

But its an uncomfortable reality thatneeds to be addressed, he said.

Using previous years reports fromOpportunity Naon, Denson helpedrally community organizaons in hiscity to develop a pilot program to helpstudents as young as 14 nd summerwork.

When we got the index, it reallyallowed us to use it as a rallyingpoint for all of the community-basedorganizaons we work with to say,Look, this is what the world sees whenthey look at Iowa, he said.

Starng next summer, Des Moinesstudents will be placed in paying jobs,part of a citywide collaboraon to helpits urban communies. It will helpolder adults, as well, because crimerates are expected to fall, he said.

If theyre not in school or at work,Denson said, theyre not usually doingsomething posive.

Hispanic Heritage Month is currentlybeing celebrated on PBS NewsHourwith senior correspondent Ray Suarezpresenng the three-part PBS seriesLano Americans.

Accompanying the documentary isSuarezs new book of the same tle,which examines more than 500 yearsof Hispanic culture in North America.

This is American history but itsAmerican history in a way perhapsyouve never been taught, Suarez toldVOXXI. Lanos have been an integralpart of American history, since the rstdays of the country. Its all our history,whether youre Lano or not, as longas youre American.

While working on Lano Americans,Suarez said he became inspired by theplight and resilience of diverse groupsof Hispanics in the country.

Whether it was Mexicans in thesouthwest, Cubans in South Florida,Central Americans in Texas, andDominicans and Puerto Ricans in NewYork City, each group never stoppedpushing ahead for opportunity andequality.

Instead of becoming an alienated,pissed o, detached and angry countrywithin a country, these 53 millionAmericans have taken the punches andinstead kept on pushing to connueto demonstrate that they are fullshareholders in the American dream,Suarez said. Its just a great thing.

Today, Suarez said the story duringHispanic Heritage Month that gets theheadlines is immigraon; however, thestory thats the hot issue for LanoAmericans involves educaon.

He said for too long the Hispanicstudent has been receiving a second-rate educaon.

Suarez, a Brooklyn, New York-raisedPuerto Rican, discussed in detail theeducaon tragedy involving LanoAmericans, poinng to the fact 1 out of10 Hispanics aged 25 to 64 have a four-year degree.

However, he points to recent changesin the conversaon regarding educangLanos, which the Census Bureauprojects will represent more than 22percent of the populaon in 2040.

America should now be on noce that

actually everybody has something atstake, Suarez said.

Once youre talking about apeople thats currently one out of sixAmericans, if theyre not doing wellin school and being trained to a veryhigh standard so they can becomeproducve and highly paid workers,this is just going to be a poorer countryand a smaller tax base. There will beless ability to support the largely whitegroup of rerees thats breaking likea dal wave on American now. This isgoing to be a poor country in 40 years ifwe dont change. Its as simple as that.

Change is needed for Lano students

Hispanic Heritage Month providesadvocates plenty of exposureregarding needed changes to theeducaon system to beer serve LanoAmericans.

Hispanic History

One area that Hispanic leaderssay needs to change is this myopicposion taken by some school districtsblatantly ignoring Lano history. Thishas an understated negave impact onstudents.

Suarez said research and data conrmsLano students, oen in under-performing schools, tend to do beerat not only history but all of the othersubjects if they study Hispanic heritage.

Family Barriers

Looking ahead, Suarez points to theinvestment of the family to help kidsreach the nish line as integral forfuture success of Lano Americans.

A lot of teachers say that they hadtrouble engaging families, Suarez said.Theres oen language dicules andparents who werent able to get a lotof educaon themselves and feel theyare not welcome or not fully integratedinto the schools and thus able to helpfurther their childrens educaon. Soschools and families have to becomecloser partners so when there istrouble families are on the same side ofthe teacher in geng it addressed andgeng the kids help they need.

College Graduaon

Studies show more Lanos students areenrolling in college but sll lag behindwhen it comes to college graduaon.

Suarez said, Some schools where blackand brown kids are disproporonatelyclustering have terrible graduaonrates and that means either that theirhigh school didnt prepare them forcollege work or the colleges are lengthem down by not taking an interest inproviding what they need to be able tograduate.

College Debt

Sure, Suarez said college debt is areal problem but during HispanicHeritage Month he highlights studentsnot properly prepared for a post-secondary educaon, which in turnscreates a nancial nightmare for LanoAmericans.

We need to not only increase thenumber of diplomas were issuing butraise the rate in a way that says morekids are leaving high school ready to dothe kind of work assigned to freshman

in Americas colleges, Suarez said.We have to stop this terrible tendencyof Lano young adults to go to for-prot colleges and not nish. So theytake on debt to pay tuion and endup in the worst of all possible worlds:no credenal and no acceleraon thatyou get from having the credenal thatwill help you earn the money to pay othe debt. Its a terrible situaon, andthousands of families and Lano youngadults are trapped in that cycle.Hispanic Heritage Month and future ofLano Americans

Suarez uses Hispanic Heritage Monthto talk about realisc goals when itcomes to the next major steps LanoAmericans should expect in thedecades to come

Closing the high school graduaon ratebetween Lanos and other Americanstudents is not going to happen but inthe short-term narrowing can happen,Suarez said.

Make sure that more of those kidswho cross the stage get their nameannounced, have a diploma put in

their hand and are ready to do post-secondary work. That helps a

greater percentage of kids who will trycollege, do beer and eventually get acredenal that will help them supporttheir families.

Hispanic Heritage Month providesthe perfect opportunity to explorehow bilingual educaon posively or

negavely aect our children.Despite study aer study showing thatbilingual educaon benets studentsand communies, budget cuts andxenophobia naonwide have led tomany dual-language programs beingcut in Florida, Texas and California.

Most recently, for example, the IrvingIndependence School District outsideof Dallas gued its program, whichfor years was championed by newlyrered school board member RondaHustetler.

Specically upseng for her is thatstudents can test out of mainly Spanish-

speaking classes and aend English-only classes as early as second grade.

If you knock them out in the thirdgrade, before theyre ready, youll seescores sink rapidly, Hustetler said.

Director of Clinical Services for BilingualTherapies Nate Cornish told VOXXI thereasoning behind liming bilingualeducaon is awed.

He said, Were nding from aneducators perspecve, kids who arein more of immersion type bilingualprograms tend to catch up to theirEnglish speaking peers, and at thesame me they seem to have greater

access to the curriculum becausetheyre receiving instrucon in theirnave language while theyre learningEnglish.For Spanish-speaking kids, bilingualeducaon will help them adapt beerand faster to the curriculum and theculture, and for English-speakingchildren, it will develop cogniveexibility among many other benets.

The fools argument against benets ofbilingual educaonProponents cite a mindset thatbilingual educaon in schools withEnglish speakers naturally being theoverall goal is akin to expecng achild to learn a musical instrument by

playing sports.However, theres overwhelmingresearch that suggests skepcs areemploying the wrong analogy.

A more apt comparison involves playingthe piano in relaonship to learningviolin. Once a student has graspedthe pianos musical foundaon, theknowledge provides an easy jump tothe basics of the violin.

Similarly, studies show a Spanish-speaking student benets fromconnued study of home language asit relates to becoming skilled Englishspeakers thus being bilingual over

me.

Furthermore, the American PsychiatricAssociaon reports children whogrow up bilingual have an enhanced

ability to process sounds and thereforeare more likely to pay aenon in alearning situaon, while a study fromNorthwestern University showed thesame children have reduced levelsof anxiety, loneliness and poor self-esteem.

Liming bilingual educaon adverselyaects studentsInstute for Learning & Brain SciencesTranslaon, Outreach, and EducaonDirector Sarah Roseberry Lytle toldVOXXI that research clearly showsthe benets for English languagelearning students in bilingual-focusedcurriculum.She pointed out thats not always been

the case, with needed myth-debunkingrecently taking place.

A lot of people, even pediatricians,used to be worried that speaking morethan one language to a child was goingto confuse them, Lytle said. But weknow now more than ever thats notthe case, and in fact, there may beadvantages of bil ingualism.

Benets of bilingual educaon at aglanceSome of the benets of bilingualeducaon can also be explained byexploring how Spanish-speakingstudents immersed in English languagestudies only struggle:

Cognive AbilityIn a nutshell, this involves brain

acvity and exibility at it relates tomathemacs, problem solving, logicand memory. Unprepared Lanostudents in English-only classes canexperience stunted cognive abilitygrowth.

Solving math problems is a greatexample of one way to employ yourexibility thinking skills because youhave to think about dierent ways youmight solve a problem, in the sameway if youre growing up in a bilingualhousehold you need to think ofdierent words, Lytle said. And if you

cant acvate a word in one language,you need to think of a dierent way todescribe the word.

Social/EmoonalThrough his studies, Cornish saidstudents from communies whereSpanish is valued possess a posiveself-image of themselves as Spanishspeakers and the Spanish communiesthey come from. Conversely, theopposite is true in school districtsignoring bilingual educaon andHispanic heritage.

When I work with individuals whocome from communies whereSpanish is seen as a less presgious

language and not really valued, this cancause social issues, Cornish said. A

student who sll has a lot of needs tocommunicate in Spanish may prefer tobe perceived as an English speaker and

communicate only in English withouthaving all of their educaon needsmet.

Educaonal AdvancementCornish said there is conicngresearch regarding how long it takes achild to acquire another language.

The general idea most people accept isa child becomes procient socially andcan communicate like other childrenin formal situaons in about three tove years. So how does this relate tobilingual educaon?

Academic language takes ve toseven years to develop, Cornish said.

There are some quesons whether ittakes much longer for a child to catchup with the academic English and thecomplex language they need in theclassroom. So why thats importantis during this me when they are notcommunicang language at the samelevel as their monolingual peers, theresa potenal for them to be missing outon curriculum, and especially withCommon Core standards that are

coming out where all of our childrenwill be judged uniformly. Spanishspeaking students arent going to have

the same access if all the instrucon isin English.

FamilyWhile immigrant or rst generaonparents want their children toassimilate, Cornish said hes seeingmore families where children aredropping their home language.Ive had tearful conversaons withparents who are saying, Im losing theability to communicate with my child,what do I do? Cornish said. Thatskind of a hard thing to address. Thereare a lot of social pressures involved inthat that none of us can really control.

Health

A recent University of Kentucky Collegeof Medicine study has researchersbelieving more reserve brainpower,enhanced by being bilingual froman early age, helps protect againstmemory losses caused by Alzheimersand demena.

Hay 30.000 estudiantes actualmentematriculados en el Distrito Escolar deCiudad de Rochester (RCSD). Cada da,hay miles de estudiantes que no van a laescuela. Aunque eso puede no parecergran problema comparado con 30.000estudiantes, sin embargo, cuandomiras las muy bajas puntuaciones deexmenes y las tasas de graduacin delRCSD, la pregunta es cunto realmenteafecta ir a la escuela y estar en la clasedichos resultados, o falta de ello.

Jerome Underwood, el director de losservicios a la familia y desarrollo juvenil

esta impulsando una iniciava paraque los nios vayan y se mantengan enla escuela.

Es un gran problema para nosotros. Elao pasado, tuvimos una mejora en loque llamamos promedio de asistenciadiaria. Fuimos de, en 2011-2012, 87.7por ciento promedio asistencia diaria a

89.4 por ciento. Es donde terminamosel ao escolar, el ao pasado. Ahoracon 30,000 estudiantes registrados,si estamos en un 89.4 porciento, esodeja a un 11 porciento fuera de laescuela, de ah es que ustedes meescuchan decir que hay 3000 nios queno vienen a la escuela todos los das.Es un numero asombroso. Es un lugarinaceptable para estar.

Underwood, dijo han habido variosestudios que muestran cmoel absensmo puede daar laprobabilidad de que un estudiantese grade a empo o no se grade.El objevo del distrito es tener un

promedio de asistencia diaria al 95 porciento.

No es razonable pensar que todo elmundo va a estar ah todos los das,dijo Underwood. A veces no queremosnios en la escuela porque estnenfermos y son contagiosos. Nuestrameta es tener el promedio de asistencia

diaria al 95 por ciento. Ahora, tenemosvarias escuelas primarias por arriba dela media de 90 por ciento. La escuelasecundaria esta en los 80. Es una metamuy dicil, pero estamos poniendoaltas expectavas porque sabemos quees una de las cosas principales que va aayudar a mejorar el logro estudianl.

El absensmo es analizado en doscategoras. El ausensmo crnico esdescrito como un estudiante que falta10 por ciento a la escuela, juscadoo no. El absensmo grave es haberperdido un 20 por ciento de la escuela,juscado o no. Esto no incluye lasvacaciones, das de clima severo o das

mandatorios del distrito escolar.

Hay, en promedio, 180 das escolares.Si se ausenta 10 por ciento de 180das son 18 das. De 10 meses del aoescolar, prccamente se han perdidodos das al mes. Es ausensmo crnico.Si se ausenta 20 das de escuela, esun mes de escuela. Si se ausenta de

la escuela diez por ciento o ms lasprobabilidades de que graduarse aempo bajan signicavamente.

Segn las invesgaciones deUnderwood, en el ao escolar 2012-2013, ms de 14.000 estudiantesfaltaron 10 das o ms, juscada oinjuscadamente. 7.000 estudiantesperdieron 20 das o ms.

Es muy dicil ponerse al da. As quehay una correlacin directa entre esoy el logro. Por eso estamos tratandode tener a todos los estudiantes en laescuela, todos los das. Tenemos quecrear la conciencia all afuera.

Underwood dijo que estos no sonslo los estudiantes de secundariaque representan estos altos nmeros.Es en todos los grados. Tenemosun nmero signicavo de nuestrosestudiantes de la escuela primaria deKnder, primero, segundo, tercero ycuarto grado que se encuentran en esa

There are 30,000 students currentlyenrolled in the Rochester City SchoolDistrict (RCSD). Every day, there arethousands of students who dont go toschool. Although that may not seem likehuge issue when compared to 30,000students, however, when you look atRCSDs terribly low exams scores andgraduaon rates, the queson is howmuch does actually going to school andbeing in class account for these results,or lack thereof.

Jerome Underwood, the districtssenior director for Youth Developmentand Family Services is pushing aniniave to get kids in school and keep

them in school.

Its a big issue for us. Last year, we hadan improvement in what we call averagedaily aendance. We went from, in2011-2012, 87.7 percent average dailyaendance to 89.4 percent. Thatswhere we ended the school year,last year. Now with a 30,000 studentenrollment, if were at 89.4 percent,that leaves 11 percent not at school,thats where youll hear me say, theres3000 kids who dont come to schoolevery day. Its an astonishing number.Its an unacceptable place to be.

Underwood said there have beenseveral studies showing how

absenteeism can damage the

probability of a student graduang on

me or at all. The districts goal is tohave average daily aendance at 95percent.

Its not reasonable thinking thateveryones going to be there everyday, Underwood said. Somemes wedont want kids at school because theyare ill and they are contagious. Our goalis to have average daily aendanceat 95 percent. Right now, we haveseveral elementary schools above the90 percent average. High school is inthe 80s. Its a very challenging goalbut were seng high expectaonsbecause we know that is one of theprimary things thats going to aid andimprove student achievement.

Absenteeism is analyzed by twocategories. Chronic absenteeismis described as a student missing10 percent of school, excused orunexcused. Severe absenteeism ishaving missed 20 percent of school,excused or unexcused. This does notinclude holidays, severe weather daysor district mandated school days o.

Theres, on average, 180 school days.Missing 10 percent of that 180 days is18 days. 10 months out of the schoolyear, prey much youve missedtwo days a month. Thats chronicabsenteeism. If you miss 20 days ofschool, thats a month of school. If you

miss ten percent of school or more,

the odds of you graduang on me go

down signicantly.

According to Underwoods research, inthe 2012-2013 school year, over 14,000students missed 10 days or more,whether excused or unexcused. 7,000students missed 20 days or more.

Its very hard to catch up. So theresa direct correlaon between that andachievement. Thats why were tryingto have every student in school, everyday. We have to get the awareness outthere.

Underwood said these are not justhigh school students that account forthese high numbers. Its across the

board. We have signicant numbersof our elementary school kids fromkindergarten, rst, second, thirdand fourth grade who are in thatpopulaon. For me, if you in one ofthose grades I just menoned, yourenot being truant. Theres an adultissue, thats not allowing our studentsto come to school.

Our families, unfortunately, facesome signicant challenges as far aswe know. There are issues that theyrefacing that are rendering some, not all,but some of the adults in the homeparalyzed.

Domesc abuse, drug and alcohol

abuse, mental health issues,

incarceraon and homelessness are

just a few of the reasons that accountfor why so many children are missingevery day from school, according toUnderwood. He and his team are tryingto connect the families that are havingproblems with the agencies that areavailable to provide the help they need.

The adults are facing these issues andit has a trickledown eect on the kids.If were geng evicted tomorrow andIm running around trying to gureout where were going to live, its ahighly likely that my focus isnt goingto be geng my children to school. Sowhat were doing with our aendanceiniave, we are working much closerwith a lot of the agencies in Rochester

Agencies such as Rochester HousingAuthority, Alternaves for BaeredWomen, United Way, Urban League,Acon for a Beer Community, Boys& Girls Club, Ibero and Big Brother, BigSisters.

Were going out knocking on doorslooking for kids. When those doorsopen were hearing a number of thingsthat are largely adult issues. What wewant to do, we being the school district,we want to be able to refer our familiesto whichever agency their story alignswith so we can say listen, we wantyou to send lile Jerome to school sohe can connue to be educated, whilesimultaneously dealing with whatever

the issue is.

poblacin. Para m, si esta en uno deesos grados que acabo de mencionar,no hay ausensmo. Hay un problemacon los adultos, que no permite anuestros alumnos venir a la escuela.

Nuestras familias, por desgracia,enfrentan algunos desaosimportantes por lo que sabemos. Hayproblemas que estn enfrentando yestn haciendo algo, no todos, peroalgunos de los adultos en el hogarestn paralizados.Abuso domsco, uso de drogas yalcohol, problemas de salud mental,encarcelamiento y falta de viviendason solo algunos de los movos queexplican por qu tantos nios faltantodos los das de escuela, segnUnderwood. l y su equipo estntratando de conectar a las familiasque estn teniendo problemas con lasagencias que estn disponibles paraproporcionar la ayuda que necesitan.

Los adultos estn enfrentando estosproblemas y enen efecto en los nios.Si nos van a desalojar maana y estoycorriendo intentando averiguar dndevamos a vivir, es altamente probableque mi enfoque no va a ser mandar amis hijos a la escuela. As que lo que

estamos haciendo con nuestra iniciavade asistencia, estamos trabajandomucho ms cercano con variasagencias en Rochester. Agencias comoAutoridad de Vivienda de Rochester,Alternavas para Mujeres Maltratadas,United Way, Liga Urbana, Accin parauna Mejor Comunidad, Boys and GirlsClub, Ibero y Big brother, Big Sisters.

Estamos tocando puertas buscando alos chicos. Cuando las puertas se abrenescuchamos una serie de cosas queson temas mayormente de adultos.Lo que queremos hacer, nosotrossiendo el distrito escolar, queremos sercapaces de referir a nuestras familias acualquier agencia con la que su historia

se alinee ; de manera que podamosdecir escucha, queremos enviar aJerome a la escuela para que puedaconnuar a su educacin, mientraslidiamos simultneamente con lo quese trata el problema.

Lterry fey Jer oro co s lro: l impero res Este mes ElCafecito Literarioemprendi unviaje al pasado deBrasil con la novelaEl Imperio Eres Tde Javier Moro,escritor espaol,nacido en 1955.

Esta aventuraliteraria como ladenomina Javier

Moro, nos llev a explorar la historia deuno de los pases con mayor diversidadracial de inmigrantes como ha ocurridoen los Estados Unidos y Canad.

En esta historia novelada tuvimos laoportunidad de conocer el desarrollode eventos como la independencia deBrasil as como parte de la historia dePortugal en la que en 1807, la familiareal escapando de Napolen Bonapartese traslad a Brasil donde permanecipor 13 aos, provocando as un cambioirreversible a la historia del mundo.

El intercambio cultural entre Brasil yPortugal al fusionarse gener un nuevodevenir histrico, que altero a su vezla dinmica histrica de otros pasesde Europa y Amrica como Francia,Espaa, Uruguay y Argenna.

El conocer la historia del aconteceren las diversas dimensiones de

Amrica, nos hizo conscientes de losingredientes de nuestra idendad ynos dio la oportunidad de conocera la poblacin portuguesa-brasileacomo a una pieza importante en elrompecabezas cultural.

Los tesmonios de los diferentesintegrantes de El Cafecito Literario encuanto a su conocimiento de la historiade la independencia de Brasil fueroninteresantes ya que en algunos pasescomo Espaa y Argenna, la historiade Portugal-Brasil resulto una parte delos conocimientos bsicos de historiaen sus aos escolares sin embargo enlos lectores de Mxico y los EstadosUnidos reportaron no haber revisado

esa parte de la historia en su educacinelemental.

Esto nos deja ver una conceptualizacindiferente de la realidad por parte de loshispanos dependiendo esta del pas deorigen y la versin de la historia quese recibi en los primeros aos deeducacin.

Sin embargo libros de la talla deEl Imperio Eres T, son capaces deofrecernos la posibilidad de unicarnuestros parmetros culturalesmediante la literatura actual quese expande en una gran diversidadde pases, entre los que tambin seincluyen pases asicos como China,donde este libro fue premiado entrelas mejores novelas extranjeras en elao 2012.

As fue como Javier Moro nos invita percatarnos de la presencia delos grupos masones y su inuenciaen Pedro I de Brasil y IV de Portugal(1798-1834), quien implemento la

Const ituc inde Brasilconocida comouna de las msliberales de supoca. Muchoslectores inclusoa f i r m a r o nque esta

Const ituc inpudo habersido escrita porlos masones,aunque validada por Pedro I el primeremperador de Brasil, quien sin dudadio especial atencin a Jos Bonifaciode Andrada e Silva, considerado elpatriarca de la independencia de Brasil.

La novela da especial atencin ala vida de Pedro I de Brasil, su vidamatrimonial y sus aventuras amorosasilcitas. Tambin muestra como lasluchas ideolgicas de aquel empo,son y sern parte del ejercicio evoluvodel presente polco de cada pas.

Reports ofmy death havebeen greatlyexaggerated.

Mark Twain

In my 23rdyear, I met U.S.Senator BarryG o l d w a t e r

(R-AZ) at theUniversity ofOregon. Hesigned my copy

of his earthshaking book, CONSCIENCEOf a CONSERVATIVE.

Being a Republican before I was aconservave however, I answered thecall to arms of my former boss UnitedStates Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R-CA) to join the ght for the Republican1964 Presidenal nominaon on theside of New York Governor NelsonRockefeller.

I was disappointed when the Goldwaterwave overrode Governor Rockefeller

for the nominaon and furtherdisappointed when Lyndon BainesJohnson overwhelmed Goldwater inNovember, 1964. The GOP was almostkilled by the Democrac wave.

The day aer the elecon, pundits ofall sorts pronounced the RepublicanParty dead, dead forever.

Rest in Peace GOP, November 1964 Iwas 23.

Fiy years later, I am hearing the samewords about the Republican Partybeing dead. More than 95%of Blacksvoted for Obama for racial reasons andthat wont happen again. 73% or so of

Hispanics voted for Obama, as well,

with higher percentages among PuertoRicans and Dominicans than amongCubans and Mexican Americans. Willthat happen again?

Most of the pundits are ultra-liberalwriters/commentators of the massmedia. Then there is MSNBCs ChrisMathews who apparently had anorgasm when Obama won in 2008(The thrill is ckling up my leg).

Are they right? History tells us theyare not. Republicans were routed in1932 but came back in 1938 whenthey won 81 House seats and 6 newsenators, and actually did so in 1952.Republicans just missed in 1960 aer 8years of President Eisenhower.

Aer the Goldwater defeat, the GOPwas declared dead and buried but theGOP came roaring back just two yearslater around the country and electedRichard Nixon in 1968.

The 1966 midterm elecons were aRepublican romp just two years aerGoldwater was heavily defeated. 47

new Republican House memberswere elected; 3 new senators, 8 newgovernors including Ronald Reagan(CA) and George Romney of Michiganand 700 new state legislators.

Nixon was reelected by the greatestvictory wave in the country sinceFranklin Roosevelt, a victory in 1972even greater than Eisenhowers secondvictory in 1956.

Watergate came and the GOP stumbledbut would have won the 1976 Eleconif President Gerald Ford had justreceived 10,000 more votes in Ohio.

1980 came and Ronald Reagans win

was so convincing that Jimmy Carter

conceded hours before the polls closedin California, Oregon, Washington,Hawaii and Alaska.

He did beer in 1984. In 1988 GeorgeH.W. Bush was elected President andcarried forth the Reagan/Bush policiesfor another 4 years.

The Republican Party is not dead,though Democrat parsans wishfully

insist that it is.

For example, the Democrat LanoDecisions (LD) group of Hispanicacademics based at the Universityof Washington has published theirprojecons of a growing Lanoelectorate and how it feels now andwill feel in the future if there is noComprehensive Immigraon Reform(CIR). Despite the fact that it wasDemocrats led by Harry Reid andBarack Obama that torpedoed the2006-7 Bush CIR proposal, LanoDecisions tells us that Lanos willblame Republicans even if Obama sitson his hands and allows CIR to die.

More importantly Lano Decisionspredicts growing Hispanic electoratesin their projecons but insist on astac 25% of the Lano vote goingRepublican in their future scenarios.

That, however, is a faulty assumponthat destroys their conclusions ofhow Lanos will vote. They assume,wrongly, that the GOP Hispanic votewill remain at 25% despite the factthat the Hispanic Republican votehas approached 50 percent in pastelecons; i.e. Hispanic votes have beendocumented only since 1968.

Their 25% is based on the RomneyHispanic vote of 2012. Belying that

assumpon are actual Hispanic votes

cast for John McCain -- 31% and GeorgeW. is credited with 44% in 2004. No oneknows how Hispanics voted in 1952 and56 but we can guess that they voted fortheir Commanding General just like therest of America did.

The percentage is the key. But it is notwhen one uses a stac 25% based onan outlier elecon result of 2012.

We know this, since Hispanic voteshave been counted and studied, eachRepublican that has earned 35% ormore of the Hispanic vote has wonthe Presidency; that includes Nixon,Reagan, Bush I and Bush II.

Can Republicans increase their Hispanicvote by a third more than Mi Romneyreceived in 2012? Fact: Hispanics holdtwo governorships (Brian Sandovalin Nevada, Susanna Marnez in NewMexico) and, one U.S. Senator namedMarco Rubio.

Do pundits and Lano Decisionsthink that more Hispanics wont voteRepublican in 2016 if one of those

three Hispanic polical giants is on theRepublican Presidenal cket?

If they do, they are blind and/orconsider Hispanics to be stupid.

Por primeravez en mucho

empo, meparece, queel deseo dela comunidadde ayudar ala mayorade nuestrosestudiantes dela ciudad deRochester paratener xito

acadmicamente y en la vida est asu alcance. Es la llegada de lderesdel sector clave, reforzado por losmovimientos de toda la comunidad ylas iniciavas, ms reformas educavas

claves y mejoras, que nalmentepodran resultar en lo que muchos denosotros hemos soado para los niosde nuestra ciudad.

Liderazgo de servicio: Uno de losingredientes claves de esta tormentade esperanza es el liderazgo queactualmente se est demostrandoen los niveles ms altos del DistritoEscolar de la Ciudad de Rochester(RCSD por sus siglas en ingls). En todosmis aos de asociacin con el RCSDnunca he escuchado un mensaje msclaro, ms convincente que se centreen su cliente clave los estudiantes y

sus familias. Tener un lder local querealmente se preocupa por nuestros

nios y sus familias, con ningn plande irse con la prxima oferta, ha tradouna estabilidad que se presta a laesperanza. La llamada a cambiar y apensar fuera de convencionalismos,a veces parece simple, pero no essencillo: alfabezacin veincuatropor siete; empo: asistencia, daextendido, empo fuera de la escuela,protegiendo el da educavo y hacerfrente a la prdida de aprendizajeen el verano; asociaciones: clarasy entendidas, aprovechando losrecursos pblicos/privados; enfoquetransparente, honesto y justo en ellogro del estudiante.

Los movimientos y la iniciava: existen

varias iniciavas locales moviendonuestra comunidad hacia el impactocolecvo sobre el xito acadmico,matrcula universitaria y empleoacertado luego de la universidad.ROC el futuro ha estado ocupadotrabajando conectando a la comunidadcon objevos comunes basados endatos que abarcan de la cuna a lacarrera. Una de sus primeras llamadasde toda la comunidad a la accin es lacampaa para la Lectura de Nivel deGrado. La campaa es una colaboracinde fundaciones, organizaciones nolucravas, estados y comunidadesenfocados en el predicador No.1

del xito escolar: lectura a nivel detercer grado. Se estn desarrollando

planes de accin adicional. En 2013,Rochester ser uno de quince siosen todo el pas que sern el antrinde una cumbre de la comunidad deGrad Naon. Las cumbres sirven paraacelerar el progreso de los EstadosUnidos para alcanzar la meta de unatasa de graduacin nacional de 90por ciento para el ao 2020. En 100comunidades en todo el pas, dirigentesde empresas, organizaciones civiles ysin nes de lucro, gobiernos locales,escuelas pblicas, educacin superior,fundaciones y organizaciones religiosasse unirn con los padres y jvenespara desarrollar un plan para acelerarel progreso. United Way del rea deRochester recientemente lanz su plan

para el cambio y la nanciacin alineadaa l, bajo el rea de enfoque preparandonios para el xito, est buscandofacilitar a los estudiantes tener mayorasistencia a la escuela, mejorar elrendimiento acadmico, asistenciaregular a programas fuera del empode la escuela, mayor bienestar socio-emocional y sico. Greater RochesterSummer Learning Associaon (laasociacin de aprendizaje en el veranode gran Rochester) un modelo degrados K - 8 que se est adoptandoa nivel nacional, est facilitandoenriquecimiento de verano de altacalidad en los campus universitarios.

En los lmos aos han comenzadoprogramas en la Universidad de la

Rochester, MCC, Nazareth College ySUNY Geneseo, con otras instucionesde enseanza superior considerandounirse al movimiento.

Mejoras y reformas educavas:reformas claves como la adopcinde una base en comn, el que losestudiantes de RCSD tengan que tomarmenos exmenes, la aplicacin delestado de una evaluacin docenteconsistente que trae la rendicin decuentas y el recientemente aprobadocontrato de maestros con mayorautonoma de la escuela y el potencialpara las escuelas dirigidas por maestros- todos apuntan a la posibilidad demayor rendimiento acadmico. As

como el movimiento de las escuelasde la comunidad puede facilitar elaprovechamiento de todo lo que vienejunto con la intencin de ayudar anuestros nios. Algunos empresarioslocales estn idencando las escuelasde la comunidad de mejores prccasy xito y las estn persuadiendo a venira Rochester en benecio de nuestracomunidad.

Hay mucho para tener esperanzas.Involcrese... apoye estos esfuerzos.Se lo debemos a los nios de nuestracomunidad... nos lo debemos anosotros mismos.

OPINION / EDITOrIAL

Se est formdo l perfect tormet de esper

LuizS a. Pz

For the rst me in a long me, itseems to me, that the communitysdesire of assisng a majority of our Cityof Rochester students to be successfulacademically and in life is within reach.Its the coming together of key sectorleaders, bolstered by community-wide movements and iniaves,plus key educaonal reforms andimprovements, that could nally resultin what so many of us have dreamedabout for the children of our fair city.

Servant Leadership: One of the keyingredients to this storm of hopeis the leadership currently beingdemonstrated at the highest levels ofthe Rochester City School District. Inall of my years of partnering with theRCSD I have never heard a clearer,more compelling message focusedon their key customer students andtheir families. To have a local leaderwho genuinely cares for our kidsand their families, with no agenda ofleaving at the next oer, has broughta stability that lends to hope. The callto change and to think out of the boxmay, at mes, sound simplisc, butit isnt simple: literacy twenty-fourseven, me: aendance, extended

day, out of school me, protecng

the educaonal day, and addressingsummer learning loss; partnerships:clear and understood, public/privateleveraging resources; transparent,honest, and fair focused on studentachievement.

Movements and Iniave: Thereare several local iniaves movingour community towards collecveimpact on academic success, collegematriculaon, and successful post-college employment. ROC the Future

has been busy working at connecngthe community with data-drivencommon goals spanning cradle tocareer. One of its earliest community-wide calls to acon is the Campaignfor Grade-level Reading. The campaignis a collaboraon of foundaons,nonprots, states and communiesfocused on the No.1 predictor ofschool success: third grade reading.Addional acon plans are beingdeveloped. In 2013, Rochester will beone of een sites naonwide thatwill host a Grad Naon CommunitySummit. The summits are intendedto hasten the United States progresstowards reaching the goal of a 90percent naonal graduaon rate by

2020. In 100 communies across the

country, leaders from businesses,civic organizaons, non-prots, localgovernment, public schools, highereducaon, foundaons and faith-based organizaons will join withparents and young people to developa blueprint to accelerate progress. TheUnited Way of Greater Rochestersrecently released Blueprint for Change,and funding aligned to it, under thefocus area Preparing Kids for Success,is looking to facilitate studentshaving increased school aendance,

improved academic performance,regular aendance in out-of-school-me programs, and increased social-emoonal and physical wellness. TheGreater Rochester Summer LearningAssociaon, in a K - 8th grade modelnow being adopted naonwide,is facilitang high-quality summerenrichment on college campuses.In recent years programs have beenstarted at the U of R, MCC, NazarethCollege, and SUNY Geneseo, withother instuons of higher learningconsidering joining the movement.

Educaonal Reforms andImprovements: Key reforms likethe adopon of the common core,

RCSD students having to take fewer

exams, the statewide applicaon ofa consistent teacher evaluaon thatbrings accountability, and the recentlyapproved teacher contract with greaterschool autonomy and the potenalfor teacher-led schools - all bid wellfor the possibility of greater academicachievement. The move to communityschools as well can facilitate takingadvantage of all that is coming togetherwith the intent of helping our children.Some local businessmen are idenfyingbest-pracce, successful charter

schools and wooing them to Rochesterto the benet of our community.

There is much to be hopeful about.Get involvedsupport these eorts.We owe it to the children of ourcommunitywe owe it to ourselves.
