Obviously, many latino people are at an extreme educational disadvantage in the U.S. because they are not as literate in English as the majority of other Americans. This makes it much more difficult for them to succeed in school, and they get discouraged with poor grades so they drop out. I have no knowledge that this is also true throughout Central and South American, where Latinos are educated in their own languages (Spanish and Portuguese). I assume that educational success strongly correlates with economic status, so that the middle and upper class people in Latin countries have educational attainment comparable to middle and upper class people in the U.S.A.

It's not a matter of culture; it's a matter of location and economic circumstance. If recent immigrants or long-established residents live in an area with poor education, faulty teachers and an unstimulating environment that doesn't provide examples, how can you expect people to not be conditioned to mess up?

That is a stereotype. I am a Hispanic female about to receive my Bachelors degree in English Literature, and I am on my way to Graduate school in the north east. What about you?
