[quote=Anonymous]Latin parent here. That is a very loaded assumption pp. The idea that Latin parents have "lower expectations of their school". It's breathtaking how stupid that sounds. They are entirely different schools with entirely different visions of what secondary education should look like. My expectations as a Latin parent for what happens in the classroom as far as the level, depth and content of teaching and my child's learning are sky high. Couldn't get any higher and so far have been met. I do not, however, expect every student who studies in those classrooms to be academically gifted and competitive nor do my expectations for my child's future narrow to the pinprick of an ivy league school. Millions of well educated and upstanding citizens seem to carry out a successful and satisfying life with at degree from an ivy. I don't believe you can chalk differences up to higher or lower expectations of the school. Just different.[/quote]
