Sixteen-year-old Camila is complaining about the test she just completed for a university research team. The test administrator sneered at her when she asked a question about the instructions. She didn't know how to answer questions about football. She couldn't understand the questions about cultural norms in early America. She was uncomfortable answering questions about religious beliefs. She didn't like questions implying that Latino children may not have high expectations for learning. She and the other girls in her group noticed that only ethnic minority students were being tested. Explain the validity of Camila's complaints and the weaknesses of the research plan.
