School Failure and Parental School Involvement in an Ethnically Mixed School: A Survey

Anchor, Kenneth N.; Anchor, Felicia N.

Journal of Community Psychology, 2, 3, 265-267, Jul 74

Data unobtrusively collected from an ethnically mixed junior high school indicated that parents of children with low success were fewer in attendance at scheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences than parents of children with relatively high school success. This finding was more pronounced for Mexican-American parents. Possible alternatives to the present educational structure and its success-failure approach to assessment are discussed. (EH)
