- Synopsis
- Crosnoe (sociology, U. of Texas, Austin) presents findings from the first-ever national study of the school readiness of Mexican immigrant children. As the number of Mexican immigrants to the U. S. continues to increase, the author argues, it is critical that we determine ways to improve the educational prospects of the Mexican immigrant children if they are to eventually become prosperous, productive, fulfilled citizens. The study examines various aspects of their lives--including health, the home environment, and childcare arrangements--to identify what helps and what hurts these children in the first years of elementary school, and concludes with some recommended social policy changes For educators, policymakers, and parents.
