Bush 41 wrote that during the days, the schools taught hispanics in Spanish so that they could be waiters and busboys and nights, their parents taught them English so that they could be doctors and lawyers.
The problem comes when parents no longer feel that way but had rather have their kids be like them. I understand that that Edwood ISD, where the case arose when ended with Robin Hood, is still not up to snuff, despite the money poured nto in for more than 10 years, because too many parents would rather remain, at least intellectually, in the ghetto.
Changing to another language as a family is very difficult and requires commitment
Therefore it becomes less common when the family lives in an ethnic community.
