The Pros And Cons Of Parents Of The Education Of Minority Students

307 Words2 Pages
Minority students compared to third generation white students do not get equal education opportunities due to their parents possessing less social capital. Kao and Lindsay (2007) found minority students do not achieve the same level of education as white students due to their parent’s income. Parents of minority students seem to be less involved in their children’s schools as opposed to white families. A reason for that could be because of language barriers, or their parents working to be able to provide to the basic needs of their children. This leads immigrant and minority children to have lower academic achievements compared to white children. This research is important because minorities should not be limited to the education they receive.
