Describe some of the differences between Asian-American, African-American, and Caucasian American parents in regards to cultural beliefs about education.

What will be an ideal response?


The answers may include that African-American parents believe that their children will be discriminated against and will have limited success regardless of education. Thus, African-American students do not stress over education as much as Asian-American students, whose parents place very high importance on education. Because Asian-Americans are heavily invested in education, Asian-American students spend more time doing homework than Caucasian-American students. Caucasian American parents have been found to participate in school functions and help their children with homework more often than African-American parents.
