Demography as destiny

Abstract

This study uses data from the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). Parent responses to the Parent Involvement survey, given as part of the NCES study were considered, along with their child's socioeconomic status and self-reported level of mathematics course enrollment during their 9 th grade year of high school The purpose of this study is to identify parent behaviors that result in their child enrolling in upper level mathematics coursework in high school, regardless of race or ethnicity. Seven 2-factor ANOVA tests were conducted to determine interaction effects between types of parent behaviors and level of 9 th grade mathematics course enrollment. The interaction effect between passive parental connoisseurship and socioeconomic status was found to be significant. The main effect of socioeconomic status, as well as school choice, direct parental connoisseurship, indirect parental connoisseurship, and passive indirect parental connoisseurship were also found to be significant. As expected the main effect of a student's socioeconomic status was also significant, in terms of level of 9 th grade mathematics course enrollment. The findings from this study suggest that when students from lower socioeconomic background are grouped homogenously in school related setting and out of school experiences, the level of mathematics course enrollment is lower than their middle and upper class counterparts. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.

The stalked eyes of Bathothauma (Mollusca, Cephalopoda)

“…41), but as his specimen was much larger than ours this may have been a developing adult light organ. The fact that the lunar luminous organs increase in size with age was shown by Degner (1925) in Desmoteuthis. A similar increase with age has been shown in Leuchia by Dr R. E. Young (pers.…”

Simple Data Visualization Techniques of Racial Demographic Change Sharply Increase Propensities Toward Violence

“…Second, branching from the expectation about Black Americans increasing in size, we also expect that the simple graphs will lead to inferences that the country will increasingly become liberal and Democratic (H2). This concept we define as demographic determinism, and has been intimated toward in media coverage of racial demographic change in the U.S. (Kercheval 2022). Conventional discussion of these changes often explicitly or implicitly asserts that racial minorities increasing in size will lead to a greater advantage for the Democratic Party.…”
