Are we on the right path to honoring diversity in early education? Lessons learned from Canada
What are unique challenges of global migration on Latin American families in Canada? Latin American immigrants in Canada are not flourishing in comparison to other groups. One can see this by looking at a number of indicators including, low high school and university graduation rates, low representation at advanced level classes, high drop our rates. At the group level, Latin American face high unemployment, poor housing, and relative poverty. One of the barriers which immigrant parents may encounter in the process of acculturation into their new country is differing expectations about how children should behave in school. Major conflicts may arise from differences relating to the whole range of child rearing and care issues, with particular emphasis on the ways of handling misbehaviors of children.
