Interview: Patricia Gándara Says Parents Are Key To Boosting Latino Performance
“Parents have to understand why this is important, how you do it, how you encourage your kids. I think, generally speaking, Latino parents want their kids to do well in school and they think it’s an opportunity, but they have almost no information. The schools don’t talk to them. Nobody else talks to them. They don’t know how you go about this.” – Patricia Gándara [2], co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA
