<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Reflecting on the 2010 Census results and the dramatic increase in the U.S. Latino community, I ask myself how we once again find ourselves in the same predicament as ten years ago, with no national sense of urgency to fix Latino education when it has significant implications for our future workforce.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reversing a decades-long trend, the percentage of Latino children attending preschool across the U.S. declined between 2005 and 2009, with possible far-reaching consequences for California.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That’s the conclusion of a report by UC Berkeley researchers, to be released at the Education Writers Association’s annual conference in New Orleans.</p>

   Every spring, schools across the United States offer students an opportunity that can drastically influence their path in life. I’m talking about enrollment in AP® courses. When I took my first class in Spanish, I thought, “Why aren’t all my classes like this?” Sadly, not enough students are exposed to these high-quality classes.
