[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes I am PP whose child goes to a Title 1 which is 70%hispanic and this is what I have experienced, too.
My son has a friend who is way younger than his half siblings and doesn't have siblings (blended family); so he gets much more attention than a typical hispanic child at our school. Still, [b]I know college is not even on the family's radar. [/b]When I asked them about what they think about their child's future they said maybe professional soccer player, and when I said that private schools give out a lot of scholarships to spanish speaking kids they started talking about some school they wanted to send their child to, and it turned out to be an afterschool tutoring center.[/quote]

This is not uncommon.  Heck, my parents are from two English-speaking countries, and they still had trouble guiding my sibs and I through school in the US--the expectations for parental involvement are very different for middle/upper middle class, (mostly) white Americans, who typically have the wherewithal and know-how to adequately prepare there kids for college and beyond.  Largely the same story for kids in SE DC.  The common denominator is SES.
