Produktbeschreibung
Parent involvement is an important factor in
determining academic and social success,
particularly for minority students. Yet, it is
minority parents who participate the least in home-
school activities. Because of the benefits that
minority children, parents, and community can gain
from parents involvement in school, it is important
that educators understand and respond to the needs
of parents. This study sought to gain insight into
the perspectives of a group of women who are rarely
represented in the scholarly literature. It sought
to discover the essence of the experiences and
attitudes that influence minority parents attitudes
about school, barriers that keep them from full
participation in their children s education, and how
schools and teachers can help parents become more
involved in school. This study provides a good
example of how minority mothers in urban public
schools can and do care about theirchildren s
education. It should be of interest to educators
seeking a deeper understanding of minority mothers
and their desire for quality education for their
children.
