My second quarter of high school just started and so I got a new schedule. So I say ok, I go to the new classes, and I find I don’t like it at all. I have a new algebra teacher and new students! I am Polish-American, I speak English with no accent and you couldn’t tell other wise, I was born here and English is my first language, polish being my second. After a week in my algebra class I discover that there are around 25 students at least 16 speak polish and at least 1 has polish background. I go to my counselor and ask why I was put into this class and not another kid, he says it was "100% random" and anyone could have been switched, and get this the teacher is POLISH TOO, BORN IN POLAND! Now ill give you the stats of my school, there are 500 kids in my freshman class 5% are polish, that’s 25 kids, what are the chances of 16 out of 25 students being put into the same class with a POLISH TEACHER!! None of my friends got there schedules switched? So am I being discriminated against?HELP

There are plenty of students who are put into a new class where they don't like the teacher and don't know any of the other students. Don't spend too much time worrying about whether you are being discriminated against, and do your best to learn from this teacher. You might find out that you like him/her a lot.

Well it could go either way. Maybe they put a lot of the Polish people together because they would feel more compfortable learning around other Polish people. Or it really could be random. In our community service groups at school, which was totally random, 4 of the least popular girls, and me and this other girl, (we are both popular, not to brag or be mean), were put in the same group. We have nothing in common.

Don't bother.If you asked them to speak in polish they even have worst accent.They just proud with their just only language.Then when the globalisation came they will get problems.

What is exactly your problem? Comparing polish and american students - we are much much wiser. You may only benefit! But maybe you don;t deserve!

I really don't think so. It seems more like a statistical fluke to me. Wait it out a bit and see what happens.
