in a family of seven. He attends a large, inner-city high school
with a diverse student population including many kids from Cambodia,
Laos, and Vietnam. Wearing baggy pants, or "going sagging,"
is currently a popular way to dress, but Ra's parents are not happy

Dilemma: Trang is a 13-year-old Vietnamese girl; her family
has been in the United States for two years. She has two older brothers,
one older sister, and a younger brother. She just transferred to
a new middle school, an open school, for seventh grade this year.
Her grade school was a more traditional school and was a magnet
for Vietnamese students; her new school has only a handful of Asian
students. Her teacher has contacted her parents, Nhu and Tan; he
is concerned because he feels Trang does not participate in his
class.
