d

Answer to Question 2

Suggested Response: Stan might expect 1 in 10 students to have been born outside the U.S. He might also expect that 2 in 10 do not speak English at home and 2 in 10 are Latino. Likely, 2 in 10 live in poverty and perhaps even extreme poverty. As many as 1 in 6 will have a mild to severe developmental disability.
