Last week I went shopping in our small rural hometown, where my family has attended the same public schools since 1896. Without exception, all six generations of us — whether farmers, housewives, day laborers, business people, writers, lawyers, or educators — were given a good, competitive K-12 education.
But after a haircut, I noticed that the 20-something cashier could not count out change. The next day, at the electronic outlet store, another young clerk could not read — much less explain — the basic English of the buyer’s warranty. At the food market, I listened as a young couple argued over…

So it turns out that Iceland is the only all white nation, and they have the highest Literacy rate in the world, and the republic of haiti, the only completely Black republicin the Western Hemisphere also happens to be the poorest country in theWestern Hemisphere.

I have to do a research project about a social problem in teenagers… should i choose?
Our topic idea is due tomorrow and I thought I should do Self Harm [ie cutting, burning, etc] but I’m finding it hard to come across encyclopedia articles or non fiction books. I’m thinking I should change my topic.
Here are the other choices:

-hunger
-terrorism
-affirmative action
-animal cruelty
-homeless
-prison overcrowding
-book banning
