Every student is a unique individual.
Ethnic diversity in the nation has increased dramatically in recent decades as a result of immigration and the increasing globalization of trade. By the year 2000, nonwhite students are expected to account for about one third of the school populations. In some states, and in many communities, the nonwhite public school population is already a majority. Obviously, the potential for cultural misunderstanding exists. Focusing on linguistic diversity , we see projections that by the year 2000, approximately 3.40 million students will come from homes in which a language other than English is spoken.
