Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The conventional wisdom, supported by Herman Badillo and others, is that low Latino educational attainment is primarily the result of Latino cultural differences or deficiencies. Furthermore, Latino parents give low priority to their children's education and as a result they have little knowledge, onvolvement or contact with their children's schools. Unfortunately this conventional wisdom is based on very limited empirical evidence. Using the 2006 Latino National Survey, I test the validity of these arguments and also attempt to identify the factors that influence parental aspirations and expectations for their children's education. Contrary to popular beliefs, I find that a majority of Latino parents have high educational aspirations and expectations for their children. Their knowledge of schools and the quality of contact play a consisitently positive role in parental attitudes, while the influence of cultural ties and values is more complicated.
