That the students, Npib Thao, a Hmong, and Gloria Gonzales, a Latina, accomplished this task in a few hundred words is all the more noteworthy, given that the usual “experts” in the field require thou-sands of words (mostly in obtuse education- speak jargon) to discuss the same issue....

The son of poor farmers, he managed to attend col- lege and earn his teaching degree and later a master’s degree in social science. Lopez taught for five years in rural schools in Oaxaca.
