Educational Policy and the Growing Latino Student Population: Problems and Prospects.

Reyes, Pedro; Valencia, Richard R.

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v15 n2 p258-83 May 1993

Examines five major assumptions of "first wave" school reform and their negative consequences for Latino and other minority group students. Suggests that the reforms of the 1980s focused on excellence for white college-bound students while ignoring equity issues and the needs of at-risk, culturally diverse students. (SV)
