What Do Parents Say? Encouraging Parental Involvement across the Cultural Spectrum.

DeMoss, Susan; Vaughn, Courtney

ERS Spectrum, v18 n1 p36-40 Win 2000

Describes insights gleaned from informal conversations with 27 parents actively involved in their children's schooling. Stereotypes do not apply. Although wealthier white parents receive more encouragement to participate in decision making and school-related activities, they sometimes support working- class/minority causes and favor school involvement for everyone.
