I remember my parents sign to parent conference night and the first thing they asked my teachers was "Como se esta portando?"
Seriously???!!!
That is all my parents wanted to know. How I was behaving.
But its so understandable when being an immigrant parents to first generation students that they want to make sure we don't get in trouble with authority.
Our parents didn't know. But we have a duty now to our next generation. We strongly believe if " you know better you will do better"
This is our chance to show our community and this country that we are as intelligent and hard working. And all of this being with education....not in school but in the household!!!!
Join our conversation with Ana Lilia who has been in the school system for 17 years and lets us know what are the things we can do to make sure our sons, daughters, nephews and nieces have a better opportunity for success and get the most of our teachers.
