Survey

W: 9 6

AA: 3 2

A: 2 1

H: 5 3

NA: 0 0

PI: 0 0

O: 2 2


Although this survey can't lead to too many conclusions due to my lack of equal surveyers in every race group, some conclusions can still be discussed. Overall, in all the races, less people graduated college than high school, which is to be expected. However, it is hard to distinguish if any specific group completed high school less, again, due to my limited surveyors. However, based on the fact that many of our parents are part of the baby boom generation, who group up somewhat in the midst of all of the Civil Rights Movement or prejudice, it is reasonable to infer that African Americans, Hispanics, and basically anyone outside of the White group was less likely to graduate high school. However, there are many exceptions, like how for example my own father did not graduate college, and he is white. Overall though, the prejudice in the United States around the time when our parents were in schooling would undoubtedly take a toll on their education.
