Joel Spring- American Education Chapter 4

Quote 9
"Globalization of the labor market and the Immigration Act of 1965 are resulting in an increasingly diverse U.S. student population.  This phenomenon is not limited to the United States." (Spring p.86)

I knew that our population was becoming more and more diverse in the United States, especially in the school systems.  This is because many people from other countries are migrating to the U.S. for various reasons.  Whether it be for a freedom of religion, better education, or to just start a new life.  I never learned about the history of education during my schooling years, which I wish I had.  It was so interesting to find out about all the laws that restricted the migration of people from different ethnic backgrounds to the U.S..  I wish I got the opportunity to learn more about these issues in high school.
