[quote=Anonymous]I am guessing this article written by someone who has never actually had a child in a majority farms school. They are quoting one "bi-lingual" parent as the spokesperson for the Spanish speaking community. One problem is that the Spanish speaking community is not a monolith. They have different dialects, foods, educational backgrounds, and their own prejudices towards one another. Our translators translate pta notes like they are writing a dissertation. And our committee of bilingual parents ( meant to reach out to the Spanish speaking parents) are as classist (or more so if they are FOBs) as the American population. Participation in social activities is high across all the races in our school, hispanic families involved in fundraising, curricular activities, and PTA meetings, not so much. I think it is primarily cultural.[/quote]
