High school students deliver results of UCLA summer research study
KPCC 89.3 - August 8, 2008
Twenty-six high school students finished a UCLA summer research project today. KPCC’s Adolfo Guzman-Lopez listened as they delivered their findings in the packed top floor ballroom of Los Angeles city hall.
Adolfo Guzman-Lopez: No summer lounging for these students. For three weeks, from Monday through Friday, nine to five, they took classes at UCLA and researched what young people like themselves have to say. Manual Arts High student Maurice McCoy explored how their ideas might improve high schools.
Maurice McCoy: “One out of four students don’t feel they could talk to their administration if they don’t feel safe, and that simply isn’t acceptable.”
UCLA education professor Ernest Morrell supervised the project. He hopes adults also pay attention to its findings.
