           GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Multilingual Poll of Latino, Asian and African American Parents Reveals High Educational Aspirations for Their Children and Strong Support for Early Education
            This public opinion research project is the first multilingual poll of ethnic parents in California on educational issues. To collect this unique sample, Bendixen & Associates interviewed a total of 602 Latino, African American and Asian parents in California between April 20th and May 9th of 2006.  Each of the samples was designed to be representative of the parents in California in each of the racial/ethnic groups studied.

            Highlights:

              a.. There are important demographic and socio-economic differences between Latino, African American and Asian parents in California. These differences must be kept in mind when reviewing the other findings of the poll.   
              b.. Ethnic parents in California have very high expectations for their children, yet maintain a realistic perspective as to the role the public schools play in their children's lives. 
              c.. California's Latino, African American and Asian parents are very interested and highly involved in the education of their children. 
              d.. There is strong support for pre-school programs among California's ethnic parents.
