Public High School Students

Abstract Nearly 1,000 officer-involved killings occur each year in the United States. This article documents the large, racially disparate effects of these events on the educational and psychological well-being of Los Angeles public high school students. Exploiting hyperlocal variation in how close students live to a killing, I find that exposure to police violence leads to persistent decreases in GPA, increased incidence of emotional disturbance, and lower rates of high school completion and college enrollment. These effects are driven entirely by black and Hispanic students in response to police killings of other minorities and are largest for incidents involving unarmed individuals.

Preparation and delivery of high school mathematics lessons that integrate mathematics and astronomy through The Geometer's Sketchpad models, traditional proof, and inquiry-based activities. The lessons were created by a University of Texas UTeach preservice teacher as part of a project-based field experience in which high school students construct a working Dobsonian telescope. Eleven investigations with questions and answers are included.

The Relationship

During the spring of 1980 we included items about the use of coca paste in an ongoing longitudinal study of high school students in greater Los Angeles. Of 228 eleventh and twelfth grade males, four (1.8%) claimed to have used coca paste in the previous six months. Of 460 eleventh and twelfth grade females, five (1.1%) reported using coca paste during the six month period. We examine the usage rates in relationship to those for other drugs like liquor, marijuana, PCP, and cocaine. We also studied the relationship of the knowledge of coca paste, having friends who use the drug, and attitudes about the substance to other forms of drug use.
