"Education is the most important weapon in all battles, poverty, drugs, health. Yes it should be an EQUAL RIGHT to all."

There is free public education in the US K-12. There is even free tuition at many colleges including Harvard to the underpriveleged.

However the people need to take advantage of the opportunity and strive to obtain an education.

Why do the Asian Americans do so much better in school, graduating more often and continuing through college more often? Are they more privileged than other xxx-american minorities?

"The national graduation rate for the public school class of 2000 was 69%. The rate for white students was 76%; for Asian students it was 79%; for African-American students it was 55%; for Hispanic students it was 53%; and for Native Americans it was 57%."

"The study, released recently by the Public Policy Institute of California, found that only 13 percent of Hispanics and 15 percent of Blacks had earned a bachelor's degree. That compared with rates of 31 percent for Whites and 62 percent for Asian Americans, based on 2000 Census data.

The study found that 11 percent of American Indians earn bachelor's degrees, the lowest rate of any group."
