Dispelling Myths about Latino Parent Participation in Schools
Quiocho, Alice M. L.; Daoud, Annette M.
Educational Forum, The, v70 n3 p255-267 Spr 2006
This qualitative study was conducted to discuss and dispel commonly held myths about Latino parents' involvement in their children's education. Differences between teacher perceptions of Latino parent involvement and parents' understanding of their roles in supporting their children's education--including the learning and use of the English language--were explored. Results indicated that some teachers held negative perceptions of Latino parents. The study also revealed that Latino parents had high expectations of their children's academic achievement and wanted to be more involved in their education, but felt excluded from the school community.
