Description
Esperanza Marquez, an El Salvadorian immigrant, exclaimed "All I want to know is when my child will be able to receive ESL and special education services!" She made this statement when I interviewed her regarding her experiences with her children's schools. Throughout the nation, Latino immigrant parents like Esperanza do not only have to adjust to a new life in the United States, but to the educational culture as well (Ramirez, 2001). They are also experiencing the realities of cultural miscommunication and isolation when trying to find answers for themselves and for their children.
