Duquette, Georges

Language, Culture and Curriculum, v8 n1 p35-40 1995

Presents the results of a study that show that children value their home experiences above any experiences at school and that factors promoting the development of skills in the mother tongue are socially defined in the family and influenced by the environment in which they live. Educators should respect skills already developed at home. (22 references) (Author/CK)
