Article Synopsis
- This qualitative study examines the experiences of 32 urban high school students regarding how their racial and ethnic backgrounds influence their views on education, work, and future success.
- The study is divided into two groups: 9th graders and 12th graders, and considers their participation in a specific educational program called Tools for Tomorrow.
- Key findings highlight three main themes: students feel their future success is tied to school and work; they perceive societal expectations as low due to their racial and ethnic backgrounds; and they struggle to foresee their future success based on these backgrounds.
