Therefore, when speaking on students who are considered "less-fortunate", minorities are usually the groups targeted. For the sake of the argument, the same generalization that people of color and minorities are considered the "lower class" will be the foundation of this paper. A recent study in New York City's schools show that most inner-city students who participate in after-school activities that reward participation, attendance, and success in school work, experience an increase their motivation to learn. This increase in motivation to learn could be the difference between students channeling their energy and focus toward school, and them channeling their energy toward the streets. Also according to this study, hispanics and african-americans make up more than 75% of these after-school programs. It is not to say that these programs change every situation for students, but they provide an alternative to what they are currently doing. .
Without relying too heavily on stereotypes, there is a higher percentage of high school basketball and football teams that are propelled with the help of predominately african americans. After years of observing basketball and football games, it is my opinion that african-americans usually excel in these sports, compared to other races. Now, how many of these african american athletes are actual "student-athletes?" A lesser percentage, of course. Many african american athletes are in school only because of their participation on their school's team. To make the connection, what would happen if five inner-city schools cut their basketball and football budget? Who would suffer most? Would the white students who have educated parents that force them to sit down and study daily suffer most? Or would the african american or hispanic student who has never met their father, and whose mother works at the local diner from sunrise to sunset suffer most? It is safe to say that the less-fortunate student will suffer most.
