Though the concept of race is theoretical, the implications are concrete. The messagesthat children and youth are exposed to during years of socialization influence their attitudesabout race, science, and math as well as their self-efficacy, choice of coursework, and futurecareer plans (Knight & Cunningham 2004); and children begin to form negative attitudes abouttheir abilities in math and science as early as second grade (Andre et al. 1997).
