United States report suggests immigrant parents feel shut out of schools
United States: Hot on the heels of a Dep. of Education report stating that immigrant students are doing better than ever before, groups serving immigrant families issued a report of their own today, calling on the city Department of Education to change the culture in schools so that immigrant parents feel welcome participating in their children’s education.
A lot of immigrant parents want to be involved in their children’s schools but do not feel able because of language barriers and cultural differences, according to the report, which was written by Advocates for Children of New York.
