[quote=Anonymous]Same problem at our school of mostly low income Latino kids. I think the parents want them to achieve but can't or don't know how to help them (many don't speak English). This year our DC-CAS scores dropped slightly, so the many reforms and new programs put in place by our newish principal don't seem to be working. I too wonder what parents can do to help. It seems like these kids need intensive academic help after school and summers, not just during the school day. Our school is dual immersion. We're just entering K, and I've wondered if our class could match up Latino and English speaking families to help tutor each others' kids. But maybe that's a patently patronizing idea (since the Spanish speakers are the ones who need help most). If anyone has been through this and knows of solutions, please share. [/quote]
