Examined barriers to participation of Southeast Asian families in their children's education. Data from community focus groups, writings from a career ladder project, and a summer academy indicated that Southeast Asians had insufficient knowledge of the American educational system. There were low expectations for Southeast Asians and insufficient attention to issues of language proficiency and cultural competency in service provision. (SM)
