“It is clear from all these data that the interests of teenagers are no...” — James S. Coleman Quote

It is clear from all these data that the interests of teenagers are not focused around studies, and that scholastic achievement is at most of minor importance in giving status or prestige to an adolescent in the eyes of other adolescents.

The higher the social class of other students the higher any given student's achievement.

For to change the norms, the very foci of attention, of a cultural system is a difficult task - far more complex than that of changing an individual's attitudes and interests.

In a high school, the norms act to hold down the achievements of those who are above average, so that the school's demands will be at a level easily maintained by the majority.

Korean American Day is an incredible opportunity to join together and celebrate the lasting impact of Korean American culture, history, and achievement.
